A gossip process is an iterative in a multi-agent system where only two neighboring agents communicate at each iteration and update their states. The condition by convention described undirected graph. In this paper, we consider general rule whereby agent takes arbitrary weighted average of its neighbor’s current general, the limit (if it converges) depends on order iterations gossiping pairs. ...

In this paper, we study finite-time convergence of gossip algorithms. We show that there exists a symmetric gossip algorithm that converges in finite time if and only if the number of network nodes is a power of two, while there always exists a globally finite-time convergent gossip algorithm despite the number of nodes if asymmetric gossiping is allowed. For n = 2 nodes, we prove that a fastes...

We are entangled in a tightly woven social fabric of which many of the intersections and communication processes are hidden. The social structures made visible are those of governments, corporations and institutions. Other social structures that have no representation are trivialized as fiction or on a day-to-day-level, as gossip. Gossip is the most effective and compelling way of weaving the s...

The gossip paradigm made its first appearance in distributed systems in 1987, when it was applied to disseminate updates in replicated databases. Two decades later, gossip-based protocols have gone far beyond dissemination, solving a large and diverse collection of problems. We believe that the story is not over: while gossip is not the panacea for distributed systems, there are still virgin re...

The one-way and two-way communication modes used for sending messages to processors of interconnection networks via vertex-disjoint paths in one communication step are investigated. The complexity of communication algorithms is measured by the number of communication steps (rounds). This paper reveals a direct relationship between the gossip complexity and the vertex bisection width. More preci...

This paper presents a new theorem called the reordering theorem for the problem of gossiping by telephone. The theorem says the calls of any complete gossiping can be rearranged into a sequence such that at most two calls cause each participant to become fully informed, and such that the reverse of this sequence has the same property. This theorem has broad consequences. Several results from th...

RÉSUMÉ. Pour permettre la recherche par le contenu de documents multimédia repartis sur de larges réseaux, nous proposons un système d’indexation basé sur l’apprentissage décentralisé et asynchrone de dictionnaires visuels. Nous proposons un algorithme décentralisé pour le calcul des dictionnaires basé sur un protocole d’agrégation Gossip, qui produit un dictionnaire local performant en chaque ...

In this paper we present a solution to thèLatest Gossip Problem' for a shared memory distributed system. The Latest Gossip Problem is essentially one of bounded timestamping in which processes must locally keep track of thèlatest' information, direct or indirect, about all other processes. A solution to the Latest Gossip Problem is fundamental to the understanding of information ow in a distrib...

Four studies were conducted to develop and validate a measure of individual differences in attitudes towards gossip (ATG). In Study 1, exploratory factor analyses of responses to a pool of ATG items identified two factors reflecting attitudes about gossip s Social Value (SV) and Moral Value (MV), which provided the basis for constructing a 12-item ATG scale. In Study 2, the SV and MV factors we...

The reported past tense is one of the basic grammar topics taught to learners in teaching Turkish as a foreign language. It explained textbooks used for language that this mode has functions “hearing from another” and “become aware events later time”. In our daily lives, not welcomed well certain extent society; however, it also “gossip” relation function hearing someone else. Although gossip n...
