      Confidential gossip 

      Georgiou, Chryssis; Gilbert, S.; Kowalski, D. R. (2011)
      Epidemic gossip has proven a reliable and efficient technique for sharing information in a distributed network. Much of the reliability and efficiency derives from processes collaborating, sharing the work of distributing ...

      Distributed network size estimation and average degree estimation and control in networks isomorphic to directed graphs 

      Shames, I.; Charalambous, T.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Johansson, M. (2012)
      Many properties of interest in graph structures are based on the nodes' average degree (i.e., the average number of edges incident to/from each node). In this work, we present asynchronous distributed algorithms, based on ...

      Finding the K highest-ranked answers in a distributed network 

      Zeinalipour-Yazdi, Constantinos D.; Vagena, Zografoula; Kalogeraki, Vana; Gunopulos, Dimitrios; Tsotras, Vassilis J.; Vlachos, Michail; Koudas, Nick; Srivastava, D. (2009)
      In this paper, we present an algorithm for finding the k highest-ranked (or Top-k) answers in a distributed network. A Top-K query returns the subset of most relevant answers, in place of all answers, for two reasons: (i) ...

      The power of the defender 

      Gelastou, Marina; Mavronicolas, Marios; Lesta, Vicky Papadopoulou; Philippou, Anna; Spirakis, Paul G. (2006)
      We consider a security problem on a distributed network. We assume a network whose nodes are vulnerable to infection by threats (e.g. viruses), the attackers. A system security software, the defender, is available in the ...
