Title: Recursion in Distributed Computing
Speaker: Sergio Rajsbaum, UNAM

The benefits of developing algorithms via recursion are well known.
However, little use of recursion has been done in distributed
algorithms, in spite of the fact that recursive structuring principles
for distributed systems have been advocated since the beginning of the
field. We present several distributed algorithms in a recursive form,
which makes them easier to understand and analyze. Also, we expose
several interesting issues arising in recursive distributed
algorithms. Our goal is to promote the use and study of recursion in
distributed algorithms.
