In this paper we study the problem of computing approximate vertex covers of a graph on the basis of partial information and we consider the distributed decision-making and the communication complexity frameworks. In the first framework we do not allow communication among the processors: in this case, we show an optimal algorithm whose performance ratio is equal to p where p is the number of processors. In the second framework two processors are allowed to communicate in order to find an approximate solution: in this latter case, we show a linear lower bound on the communication complexity of the problem.
