Coordinated consensus in dynamic networks
We study several variants of coordinated consensus in dynamic networks. We assume a synchronous model, where the communication graph for each round is chosen by a worst-case adver...

On the power of hardware transactional memory to simplify memory management
Dynamic memory management is a significant source of complexity in the design and implementation of practical concurrent data structures. We study how hardware transactional memo...

Robust network supercomputing without centralized control
Internet supercomputing is becoming an increasingly popular means for harnessing the power of a vast number of interconnected computers. This comes at a cost substantially lower t...

Scalability versus semantics of concurrent FIFO queues
Maintaining data structure semantics of concurrent queues such as first-in first-out (FIFO) ordering requires expensive synchronization mechanisms which limit scalability. Howev...

Locally checkable proofs
This work studies decision problems from the perspective of nondeterministic distributed algorithms. For a yes-instance there must exist a proof that can be verified with a distri...

MIS on trees
A maximal independent set on a graph is an inclusion-maximal set of mutually non-adjacent nodes. This basic symmetry breaking structure is vital for many distributed algorithms, w...

A nonblocking set optimized for querying the minimum value
We present the Mindicator, a set implementation customized for shared memory runtime systems. The Mindicator is optimized for constant-time querying of its minimum element, while ...

Structuring unreliable radio networks
In this paper we study the problem of building a connected dominating set with constant degree (CCDS) in the dual graph radio network model [4,9,10]. This model includes two types...

Sustaining collaboration in multicast despite rational collusion
This paper focuses on designing incentive mechanisms for overlay multicast systems. Existing proposals on the problem are no longer able to provide proper incentives when rational...
