- Wired Geometric Routing
- Routing substrates for overlay networks are an important building block for large distributed applications. Many existing substrates are based on a random identifier space and therefore do not respect node locality when routing data. This can lead to lower performance for locality-sensitive applications, such as web caching, distributed gaming, and...

- Locality-Aware and Churn-Resilient Load Balancing Algorithms in Structured Peer-to-Peer Networks
- Structured peer-to-peer overlay networks like Distributed Hash Tables DHTs map data items to the network based on a consistent hashing function. Such mapping for data distribution has an inherent load balance problem. Data redistribution algorithms based on randomized matching of heavily loaded nodes with light ones can deal with the...

- Maximizing Data Locality in Distributed Systems
- The effectiveness of a distributed system hinges on the manner in which tasks and data are assigned to the underlying system resources. Moreover, nowadays large-scale distributed systems must accommodate heterogeneity in both the offered load and in the makeup of the available storage and compute capacity. The ideal resource assignment...

- Strong-Diameter Decompositions of Minor Free Graphs
- As networks grow large and complex, a key approach in managing information and constructing algorithms is to decompose the network into locality-preserving clusters. Then, information and/or management can be divided between the clusters, such that every node is responsible only for clusters for which it belongs. Such decompositions into locality...
