Graph Chatbot

Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.

Heterogeneous Gossip

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Maxime Monod, Davide Frey

Gossip-based information dissemination protocols are considered easy to deploy, scalable and resilient to network dynamics. Load-balancing is inherent in these protocols as the dissemination work is evenly spread among all nodes. Yet, large-scale distribut ...

On Tracking Freeriders in Gossip Protocols

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Kévin Clément Huguenin, Maxime Monod

Peer-to-peer content dissemination applications suffer immensely from freeriders, i.e., nodes that do not provide their fair share. The Tit-for-Tat (TfT) incentives have received much attention as they help make such systems more robust against freeriding. ...

Interference-Resilient Information Exchange

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert

This paper presents an efficient protocol for reliably exchanging information in a single-hop, multi-channel radio network subject to unpredictable interference. We model the interference by an adversary that can simultaneously disrupt up to t of the C ava ...

Elastic Transactions

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Pascal Felber

This paper presents elastic transactions, a variant of the transactional model. Upon conflict detection, an elastic transaction might drop what it did so far within a separate transaction that immediately commits, and initiate a new transaction which might ...

Names Trump Malice: Tiny Mobile Agents Can Tolerate Byzantine Failures

Rachid Guerraoui, Eric Ruppert

We introduce a new theoretical model of ad hoc mobile computing in which agents have severely restricted memory, highly unpredictable movement and no initial knowledge of the system. Each agent’s memory can store O(1) bits, plus a unique identiﬁer, and O(1 ...

The Complexity of Obstruction-Free Implementations

Rachid Guerraoui, Hagit Albo Attiya

Obstruction-free implementations of concurrent ob jects are optimized for the common case where there is no step contention, and were recently advocated as a solution to the costs associated with synchronization without locks. In this paper, we study this ...

The Wireless Synchronization Problem

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert

In this paper, we study the wireless synchronization prob- lem which requires devices activated at different times on a congested single-hop radio network to synchronize their round numbering. We assume a collection of n synchronous devices with access to ...

Decentralized Polling with Respectable Participants

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Kévin Clément Huguenin, Maxime Monod

We consider the polling problem in a social network where participants care about their reputation: they do not want their vote to be disclosed nor their misbehaving, if any, to be publicly exposed. Assuming this reputation concern, we show that a simple s ...

The Disagreement Power of an Adversary

Rachid Guerraoui

At the heart of distributed computing lies the fundamental result that the level of agreement that can be obtained in an asynchronous shared memory model where t processes can crash is exactly t + 1. In other words, an adversary that can crash any subset o ...
