Connected Components for Infinite Graph Streams: Theory and Practice

Jonathan W. Berry, Cynthia A Phillips, Alexandra M. Porter

Motivated by the properties of unending real-world cybersecurity streams, we present a new graph streaming model: XStream. We maintain a streaming graph and its connected component…

On Greedy Approaches to Hierarchical Aggregation

Alexandra Porter, Mary Wootters

We analyze greedy algorithms for the Hierarchical Aggregation (HAG) problem, a strategy introduced in [Jia et al., KDD 2020] for speeding up learning on Graph Neural Networks (GNNs…

Embedded Index Coding

Alexandra Porter, Mary Wootters

Motivated by applications in distributed storage and distributed computation, we introduce embedded index coding (EIC). EIC is a type of distributed index coding in which nodes in…

Load-Balanced Fractional Repetition Codes

Alexandra Porter, Shashwat Silas, Mary Wootters

We introduce load-balanced fractional repetition (LBFR) codes, which are a strengthening of fractional repetition (FR) codes. LBFR codes have the additional property that multiple…

Collaborative Computation in Self-Organizing Particle Systems

Alexandra Porter, Andréa W. Richa

Many forms of programmable matter have been proposed for various tasks. We use an abstract model of self-organizing particle systems for programmable matter which could be used for…

On the Runtime of Universal Coating for Programmable Matter

Joshua J. Daymude, Zahra Derakhshandeh, Robert Gmyr +4

Imagine coating buildings and bridges with smart particles (also coined smart paint) that monitor structural integrity and sense and report on traffic and wind loads, leading to te…
