Abstract
One of the main goals of the study of distributed computing concerns understanding and coping with the issue of locality. In particular, a central theme in this line of study deals with classifying problems according to their local distributed solvability and identifying the relevant parameters governing local solvability, towards establishing a computational complexity theory for locality. The talk will consider the locality of distributed decision problems, and focus on the question whether randomness helps in locally deciding distributed languages. The key issues related to this question will be illustrated via basic examples and relevant results.
