Self-Stabilizing Clock Synchronization in Probabilistic Networks

Authors: Bernadette Charron-Bost and Louis Penet de Monterno

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 281, 37th International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC 2023)

Abstract
We consider the fundamental problem of clock synchronization in a synchronous multi-agent system. Each agent holds a clock with an arbitrary initial value, and clocks must eventually indicate the same value, modulo some integer P. A known solution for this problem in dynamic networks is the self-stabilization SAP (for self-adaptive period) algorithm, which uses finite memory and relies solely on the assumption of a finite dynamic diameter in the communication network. This paper extends the results on this algorithm to probabilistic communication networks: We introduce the concept of strong connectivity with high probability and we demonstrate that in any probabilistic communication network satisfying this hypothesis, the SAP algorithm synchronizes clocks with high probability. The proof of such a probabilistic hyperproperty is based on novel tools and relies on weak assumptions about the probabilistic communication network, making it applicable to a wide range of networks, including the classical push model. We provide an upper bound on time and space complexity. Building upon previous works by Feige et al. and Pittel, the paper provides solvability results and evaluates the stabilization time and space complexity of SAP in two specific cases of communication topologies.

Self-Stabilizing Clock Synchronization in Dynamic Networks

Authors: Bernadette Charron-Bost and Louis Penet de Monterno

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 253, 26th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS 2022)

Abstract
We consider the fundamental problem of periodic clock synchronization in a synchronous multi-agent system. Each agent holds a clock with an arbitrary initial value, and clocks must eventually be congruent, modulo some positive integer P. Previous algorithms worked in static networks with drastic connectivity properties and assumed that global informations are available at each node. In this paper, we propose a finite-state algorithm for time-varying topologies that does not require any global knowledge on the network. The only assumption is the existence of some integer D such that any two nodes can communicate in each sequence of D consecutive rounds, which extends the notion of strong connectivity in static network to dynamic communication patterns. The smallest such D is called the dynamic diameter of the network. If an upper bound on the diameter is provided, then our algorithm achieves synchronization within 3D rounds, whatever the value of the upper bound. Otherwise, using an adaptive mechanism, synchronization is achieved with little performance overhead. Our algorithm is parameterized by a function g, which can be tuned to favor either time or space complexity. Then, we explore a further relaxation of the connectivity requirement: our algorithm still works if there exists a positive integer R such that the network is rooted over each sequence of R consecutive rounds, and if eventually the set of roots is stable. In particular, it works in any rooted static network.

Fault Tolerant Coloring of the Asynchronous Cycle

Authors: Pierre Fraigniaud, Patrick Lambein-Monette, and Mikaël Rabie

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 246, 36th International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC 2022)

Abstract
We present a wait-free algorithm for proper coloring the n nodes of the asynchronous cycle C_n, where each crash-prone node starts with its (unique) identifier as input. The algorithm is independent of n ≥ 3, and runs in O(log^*n) rounds in C_n. This round-complexity is optimal thanks to a known matching lower bound, which applies even to synchronous (failure-free) executions. The range of colors used by our algorithm, namely {0,…,4}, is optimal too, thanks to a known lower bound on the minimum number of names for which renaming is solvable wait-free in shared-memory systems, whenever n is a power of a prime. Indeed, our model coincides with the shared-memory model whenever n = 3, and the minimum number of names for which renaming is possible in 3-process shared-memory systems is 5.

Computing Outside the Box: Average Consensus over Dynamic Networks

Authors: Bernadette Charron-Bost and Patrick Lambein-Monette

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 221, 1st Symposium on Algorithmic Foundations of Dynamic Networks (SAND 2022)

Abstract
Networked systems of autonomous agents, and applications thereof, often rely on the control primitive of average consensus, where the agents are to compute the average of private initial values. To provide reliable services that are easy to deploy, average consensus should continue to operate when the network is subject to frequent and unpredictable change, and should mobilize few computational resources, so that deterministic, low powered, and anonymous agents can partake in the network. In this stringent adversarial context, we investigate the implementation of average consensus by distributed algorithms over networks with bidirectional, but potentially short-lived, communication links. Inspired by convex recurrence rules for multi-agent systems, and the Metropolis average consensus rule in particular, we design a deterministic distributed algorithm that achieves asymptotic average consensus, which we show to operate in polynomial time in a synchronous temporal model. The algorithm is easy to implement, has low space and computational complexity, and is fully distributed, requiring neither symmetry-breaking devices like unique identifiers, nor global control or knowledge of the network. In the fully decentralized model that we adopt, to our knowledge, no other distributed average consensus algorithm has a better temporal complexity. Our approach distinguishes itself from classical convex recurrence rules in that the agent’s values may sometimes leave their previous convex hull. As a consequence, our convergence bound requires a subtle analysis, despite the syntactic simplicity of our algorithm.
