Internet Technologies and Architectures

Participant : Fabien Mathieu.

The aim of this project is to build a community of researchers focusing on fundamental theoretical issues of future networking, including such topics as communication theory, network information theory, distributed algorithms, self-organization and game theory, modeling of large random and complex networks and structures. Partners Inria, VTT, Aalto University, Eindhoven University are gathered under EIT ICT Labs Project Fundamentals of Networking (FUN).

• distributed computing and synchronization: regular visits by Sam Toueg ( Toronto), Rachid Guerraoui ( EPFL) and Luis Rodriguez ( U. Lisboa).

• consensus agreement: Last year we have shown that $(n-1)$-set consensus can be solved obstruction-free with 2 MWMR registers and this bound is tight. We have tried to generalize this result to the $(n-k)$-set consensus with $k+1$ registers; our regular cooperation with Eli Gafni ( UCLA) is still ongoing.
