Distributed algorithms for file sorting and shortest path finding.

The thesis consists of four chapters. Chapter one lays out the foundations of distributed computing. Chapter two presents new decentralized algorithms for sorting files of integers stored in a distributed and asynchronous network. An optimal communication complexity O(n log$\sb2$d) is obtained under...
