We propose an analysis for detecting procedures and goals that are deterministic (i.e. that produce at most one solution), or predicates whose clause tests are mutually exclusive (...
Power management in data centers has become an increasingly important concern. Large server installations are designed to handle peak load, which may be significantly larger than...

An estimation algorithm for a query is a probabilistic algorithm that computes an approximation for the size (number of tuples) of the query. One class of estimation algorithms us...
This paper considers the minimax filtering problem in which the supremum norm of weighted error sequence is minimized. It is shown that the minimax solution is also the optimal Se...
The CARMA-NTG protocol is presented and analyzed. CARMA-NTG dynamically divides the channel into cycles of variable length; each cycle consists of a contention period and a group-...
