We study the election and the naming problems in the asynchronous message passing model. We present a necessary condition based on Angluin's lifting lemma [1] that must be satisfied by any network that admits a naming (or an election) algorithm. We then show that this necessary condition is also sufficient: we present an election and naming algorithm based on Mazurkiewicz's algorithm [17]. The algorithm we obtained is totally asynchronous and it needs a polynomial number of messages of polynomial size, whereas previous election algorithms in this model are pseudo-synchronous and use messages of exponential size.

We examine the power and limitations of the weakest vertex relabelling system which allows to change a label of a vertex in function of its own label and of the label of one of its neighbours. We characterize the graphs for which two important distributed algorithmic problems are solvable in this model : naming and election.
