Abstract—We consider two natural extensions of the communication complexity model that are inspired by distributed computing. In both models, two parties are equipped with synchr...
We study the communication complexity of rumor spreading in the random phone-call model. Suppose n players communicate in parallel rounds, where in each round every player calls a...
It is hard to manage the software design documents within a distributed development team. The issues include the format, distribution and evolution of data. This paper mainly focu...
The notion of certain answers arises when one queries incompletely specified databases, e.g., in data integration and exchange scenarios, or databases with missing information. W...
The wide availability of mobile devices equipped with wireless communication capabilities together with the technical possibility to form adhoc networks paves the way for building ...
