We consider a distributed server system model and ask which policy should be used for assigning tasks to hosts. In our model each host processes tasks in First-Come-First-Serve ord...

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...
Consider an n-vertex graph G = (V, E) of maximum degree ∆, and suppose that each vertex v ∈ V hosts a processor. The processors are allowed to communicate only with their neig...
In Internet based commerce, sellers often use multiple distribution channels for the sale of standard consumer goods. We study a model of second degree price discrimination in whi...
We define a family of Distributed Hash Table systems whose aim is to combine routing efficiency of the randomized networks — i.e. average path length O(log n/ log log n) vs. t...
