Brief announcement: collaborative measurement of upload speeds in P2P systems
We define and study the bandwidth determination problem in adhoc P2P environments. Using point-to-point bandwidth probes, the goal is to quickly determine each host's upload ...

A new technique for distributed symmetry breaking
We introduce Multi-Trials, a new technique for symmetry breaking for distributed algorithms and apply it to various problems in general graphs. For instance, we present three rand...

Testing Symmetric Properties of Distributions
We introduce the notion of a Canonical Tester for a class of properties on distributions, that is, a tester strong and general enough that “a distribution property in the class ...

Online algorithms for network design
This paper presents the first polylogarithmic-competitive online algorithms for two-metric network design problems. These problems arise naturally in the design of computer netwo...
