title = "Sparser: A paradigm for running distributed algorithms",
abstract = "This paper introduces a transformer for improving the communication complexity of several classes of distributed algorithms. The transformer takes a distributed algorithm whose message complexity is O(f · m) and produces a new distributed algorithm for the same problem with O(f · n log n + m log n) message complexity, where n and m are the total number of nodes and links in the network, and f is an arbitrary function of n and m. Applying our paradigm to the standard all shortest paths algorithm [15, 16, 22] yields a new algorithm which solves the problem in O(n2log n) messages (The previous best that we know of is O(m · n) messages). When applied to the O(m · polylogn) breadth-first search algorithm of Awerbuch and Peleg [8] our paradigm yields an O(m+n · polylogn) messages algorithm.",
