  Abstract

Consider the situation that informations necessary to solve a certain problem are distributed among processors on a network. It is called a distributed algorithm that in this situation each processor exchanges the message with adjacent processors to solve the problem. This paper proposes a distributed algorithm to solve the problem that constructs the weighted shortest path tree in an asynchronous network system. In general, a distributed algorithm is estimated by the number of messages(message complexity) and the number of unit complexity(ideal time complexity). Message complexity and ideal-time complexity of the distributed algorithm proposed in this paper are O(n5/3) and O(n%u221An) respectively, where n is the number of processors on the network.
