Book excerpt: This paper presents a distributed algorithm for constructing minimal spanning trees in computer-communication networks. The algorithm can be executed concurrently and asynchronously by the different computers of the network. This algorithm is also suitable for constructing minimal spanning trees using a multiprocessor computer system. There are many reasons for constructing minimal spanning trees in computer-communication networks since minimal spanning tree routing is useful in distributed operating systems for performing broadcast, in adaptive routing algorithms for transmitting delay estimates, and in other networks like the Packet Radio Network.

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In distributed computing, a set of processors that have their own input collaborate to compute a function. Processors can communicate by exchanging messages of limited size over links available on a predetermined communication network. In this thesis, we consider the problems of broadcast and minimum spanning tree construction in a distributed setting. These problems are of fundamental importance. Efficient solutions for these problems can lead to improvements in algorithms for a number of other distributed problems such as leader election. Since 1990, due to the ``folk theorem" mentioned in Awerbuch et al. JACM, it was believed that to construct a minimum spanning tree (or even broadcast tree) in a network with n processors and m communication links, Omega(m) messages are needed. However, in 2015, King, Kutten, and Thorup \cite{king2015construction} showed that if the nodes initially know the identity of their neighbors, the communication can be brought down to O(n log n) which is o(m) for sufficiently dense graphs. Our research has been focused on obtaining algorithms for constructing minimum spanning and broadcast trees that use only o(m) messages. At the same time, we have tried to improve the time complexity of our algorithms. We provide time improvements to the algorithms of King et al. in the synchronous network. Also, we provide the first asynchronous minimum spanning tree algorithm that achieves o(m) message complexity. This research will help to highlight the limitations imposed by asynchrony. It also shows that when nodes initially know the identities of their neighbors, we can design algorithms that break the barrier of Omega(m) messages proved in models where nodes do not have this knowledge.

Download or read book Introduction to Distributed Algorithms written by Gerard Tel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-09-28 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distributed algorithms have been the subject of intense development over the last twenty years. The second edition of this successful textbook provides an up-to-date introduction both to the topic, and to the theory behind the algorithms. The clear presentation makes the book suitable for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses, whilst the coverage is sufficiently deep to make it useful for practising engineers and researchers. The author concentrates on algorithms for the point-to-point message passing model, and includes algorithms for the implementation of computer communication networks. Other key areas discussed are algorithms for the control of distributed applications (wave, broadcast, election, termination detection, randomized algorithms for anonymous networks, snapshots, deadlock detection, synchronous systems), and fault-tolerance achievable by distributed algorithms. The two new chapters on sense of direction and failure detectors are state-of-the-art and will provide an entry to research in these still-developing topics.

This book was released on 2011-08-26 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the appearance of broadband links and wireless systems, networks have been used to connect people in new ways. Now, the modern world is connected through large-scale, computational networked systems such as the Internet. Because of the ever-advancing technology of networking, efficient algorithms have become increasingly necessary to solve some of the problems developing in this area. "Mathematical Aspects of Network Routing Optimization" focuses on computational issues arising from the process of optimizing network routes, such as quality of the resulting links and their reliability. Algorithms are a cornerstone for the understanding of the protocols underlying multicast routing. The main objective in the text is to derive efficient algorithms, with or without guarantee of approximation. Notes have been provided for basic topics such as graph theory and linear programming to assist those who are not fully acquainted with the mathematical topics presented throughout the book. "Mathematical Aspects of Network Routing Optimization" provides a thorough introduction to the subject of algorithms for network routing, and focuses especially on multicast and wireless ad hoc systems. This book is designed for graduate students, researchers, and professionals interested in understanding the algorithmic and mathematical ideas behind routing in computer networks. It is suitable for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers in the area of network algorithms.

Book excerpt: Abstract: "This paper considers the question of identifying the parameters governing the behavior of fundamental global network problems. Many papers on distributed network algorithms consider the task of optimizing running time successful when an O(n) bound is achieved by an n- vertex network. We propose that a more sensitive parameter is the network's diameter Diam. This is demonstrated in the paper by providing a distributed Minimum-weight Spanning Tree algorithm whose time complexity is sublinear in n, but linear in Diam (specifically, O(Diam + n[superscript 0.614])). Our result is achieved through the application of graph decomposition and edge elimination techniques that may be of independent interest."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overview and Goals Wireless communication technologies are undergoing rapid advancements. The past few years have experienced a steep growth in research in the area of wireless ad hoc networks. The attractiveness of ad hoc networks, in general, is attributed to their characteristics/features such as ability for infrastructure-less setup, minimal or no reliance on network planning and the ability of the nodes to self-organize and self-configure without the involvement of a centralized n- work manager, router, access point or a switch. These features help to set up a network fast in situations where there is no existing network setup or in times when setting up a fixed infrastructure network is considered infeasible, for example, in times of emergency or during relief operations. Even though ad hoc networks have emerged to be attractive and they hold great promises for our future, there are several challenges that need to be addressed. Some of the well-known challenges are attributed to issues relating to scalability, quality-of-service, energy efficiency and security.
