Abstract: We consider a generalization of the dining philosophers problem to arbitrary connection topologies. We focus on symmetric, fully distributed systems, and we address the problem of guaranteeing progress and lockout-freedom, even in presence of adversary schedulers, by using randomized algorithms. We show that the well-known algorithms of Lehmann and Rabin do not work in the generalized case, and we propose an alternative algorithm based on the idea of letting the philosophers assign a random...

...the expected time of convergence as a number of transitions. We have shown that this time may be exponential for some malicious scheduler. An interesting further work would be to remove the fairness assumption with more complex connection topologies of dining philosophers as, e.g. in...
