agree  Balasubramaniam L.: Yes "together" in all the three places. Conjuction would require a "with" and something following after that. Wouldn't fit in in any of the three cases.

in tandem


Explanation:

I wouldn't go for 'in conjunction' because to my ears it needs to be followed by 'with' - and 'together', while more likely, implies that both things happen at the same time. How about 'in tandem'?

agree  Kim Metzger: To my ears, too, except after "distributed" where 'together' seems to work.

agree  Balasubramaniam L.: May be at any one place, it fits in best in the first sentence, but using it at all the three places would make it rather repetitive. Repeating "together" three times does not jar, but doing that with "tandem" would.

agree  Balasubramaniam L.: Now he has the three words he needs - "together", "in tandem" and "simultaneously". Each of the gaps can be filled by one of them and repetition of any single term nicely avoided.
