We study deterministic, distributed algorithms for two weak variants of the standard graph coloring problem. We consider defective colorings, i.e., colorings where nodes of a colo...
This paper addresses the problem of minimizing the average running time of the Las Vegas type algorithm, both in serial and parallel setups. The necessary conditions for the exist...

Our proposal has the following key features: 1) The separation of a distributed program into a pure algorithm (PurAl) and a distribution/communication declaration (DUAL). This yie...

In this paper we consider the weighted, capacitated vertex cover problem with hard capacities (capVC). Here, we are given an undirected graph G = (V, E), non-negative vertex weigh...
We investigate the problem of maintaining a topology with small degree as well as small diameter in a dynamic distributed system such that the system always stays connected and pr...
