Abstract
The problem of determining in a distributed fashion the centers and the medians of a network is considered. Lower bounds on the time needed to solve these problems are proved. Algorithms that achieve those bounds for tree networks are presented. The number of exchanged messages is linear in the number of nodes. These techniques are extended to operate on general networks in O(n) times units exchanging O(n multiplied by (times) l) messages, where n is the number of nodes and l is the number of edges in the network. A comparison with a simple heuristic approach is included.
