Propagated timestamps: a scheme for the stabilization of maximum-flow routing protocols
We present a distributed protocol for maintaining a maximum flow spanning tree in a network, with a designated node as the root of the tree. This maximum flow spanning tree can be...

Cross-Over Composition - Enforcement of Fairness under Unfair Adversary
Abstract. We study a special type of self-stabilizing algorithms composition : the cross-over composition (A B). The cross-over composition is the generalization of the algorithm c...
