Specifically, neither random networks nor regular lattices seem to be an adequate framework within which to study real-world complex systems such as chemical-reaction networks, neural networks, food webs, social networks, scientific-collaboration networks, and computer networks. Small-world networks provide some desired properties like an expected polylogarithmic distance between two processes in the network, which allows routing in polylogarithmic hops by simple greedy routing, and robustness against attacks or failures. By these properties, small-world networks are possible solutions for large overlay networks comparable to structured overlay networks like CAN, Pastry, Chord, which also provide polylogarithmic routing, but due to their uniform structure, structured overlay networks are more vulnerable to attacks or failures. In this paper we bring together a randomized process converging to a small-world network and a self-stabilization process so that a small-world network is formed out of any weakly connected initial state. To the best of our knowledge this is the first distributed self-stabilization process for building a small-world network.}}, author = {{Kniesburges, Sebastian and Koutsopoulos, Andreas and Scheideler, Christian}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the 26th IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS)}}, pages = {{1261----1271}}, title = {{{A Self-Stabilization Process for Small-World Networks}}}, doi = {{10.1109/IPDPS.2012.115}}, year = {{2012}}, } @article{1868, author = {{W.

An h-route cut is a set of edges whose removal decreases the maximum h-route ow between a given source-sink pair (or between every source-sink pair in the multicommodity setting) to zero. The main result of this paper is an approximate duality theorem for multicommodity h-route cuts and ows, for h 3: The size of a minimum h-route cut is at least f=h and at most O(log4 k f) where f is the size of the maximum h-routeow and k is the number of commodities. The main step towards the proof of this duality is the design and analysis of a polynomial-time approximation algorithm for the minimum h-route cut problem for h = 3 that has an approximation ratio of O(log4 k). Previously, polylogarithmic approximation was known only for h-route cuts for h 2. A key ingredient of our algorithm is a novel rounding technique that we call multilevel ball-growing. Though the proof of the duality relies on this algorithm, it is not a straightforward corollary of it as in the case of classical multicommodity ows and cuts. Similar results are shown also for the sparsest multiroute cut problem.}}, author = {{Kolman, Petr and Scheideler, Christian}}, journal = {{Theory of Computing Systems}}, number = {{2}}, pages = {{341--363}}, publisher = {{Springer}}, title = {{{Towards Duality of Multicommodity Multiroute Cuts and Flows: Multilevel Ball-Growing}}}, doi = {{10.1007/s00224-013-9454-3}}, year = {{2013}}, } @inproceedings{513, abstract = {{This paper initiates the study of self-adjusting networks (or distributed data structures) whose topologies dynamically adapt to a communication pattern $\sigma$. We present a fully decentralized self-adjusting solution called SplayNet. A SplayNet is a distributed generalization of the classic splay tree concept. It ensures short paths (which can be found using local-greedy routing) between communication partners while minimizing topological rearrangements. We derive an upper bound for the amortized communication cost of a SplayNet based on empirical entropies of $\sigma$, and show that SplayNets have several interesting convergence properties. For instance, SplayNets features a provable online optimality under special requests scenarios. We also investigate the optimal static network and prove different lower bounds for the average communication cost based on graph cuts and on the empirical entropy of the communication pattern $\sigma$. From these lower bounds it follows, e.g., that SplayNets are optimal in scenarios where the requests follow a product distribution as well. Finally, this paper shows that in contrast to the Minimum Linear Arrangement problem which is generally NP-hard, the optimal static tree network can be computed in polynomial time for any guest graph, despite the exponentially large graph family. We complement our formal analysis with a small simulation study on a Facebook graph.}}, author = {{Avin, Chen and Häupler, Bernhard and Lotker, Zvi and Scheideler, Christian and Schmid, Stefan}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the 27th IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS)}}, pages = {{395--406}}, title = {{{Locally Self-Adjusting Tree Networks}}}, doi = {{10.1109/IPDPS.2013.40}}, year = {{2013}}, } @inproceedings{519, abstract = {{In this work we present the first scalable distributed information system,i.e., a system with low storage overhead, that is provably robust againstDenial-of-Service (DoS) attacks by a current insider.
