Abstract
We consider finite connected undirected graphs without self-loops as a model of computer networks. The nodes of the graph represent computers or processors, while the edges of the graph correspond to the links between them. We present a model of distributed computations, called semi-local. This extension of the classical local model breaks the local symmetry. As a result, many useful tasks become deterministically solvable in every network assuming a very small initial knowledge about its graph representation. One of these tasks is a creation of a token in an arbitrary anonymous ring – an example of election of a leader. A semi-local solution to this problem is presented.
