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 ...

The Complexity of Distinguishing Markov Random Fields
Abstract. Markov random fields are often used to model high dimensional distributions in a number of applied areas. A number of recent papers have studied the problem of reconstruc...

On k-optimal distributed constraint optimization algorithms: new bounds and algorithms
Distributed constraint optimization (DCOP) is a promising approach to coordination, scheduling and task allocation in multi agent networks. In large-scale or low-bandwidth network...

Optimal Parallel Construction of Hamiltonian Cycles and Spanning Trees in Random Graphs
We give tight bounds on the parallel complexity of some problems involving random graphs. Speci cally, we show that a Hamiltonian cycle, a breadth rst spanning tree, and a maximal...

Initializing Sensor Networks of Non-uniform Density in the Weak Sensor Model
Abstract. Assumptions about node density in the Sensor Networks literature are frequently too strong or too weak. Neither absolutely arbitrary nor uniform deployment seem feasible ...
