We present the hybrid activation multiple access (HAMA) protocol for ad hoc networks. Unlike previous channel access scheduling protocols that activate either nodes or links only,...
In this paper we present a randomized parallel algorithm to sample matchings from an almost uniform distribution on the set of matchings of all sizes in a graph. First we prove th...
Randomness extractors convert weak sources of randomness into an almost uniform distribution; the conversion uses a small amount of pure randomness. In algorithmic applications, t...
We explore the possibilities to organize a query data structure in the main memories or hard disks of a cluster computer. The query data structure serves to improve the performanc...
Structured P2P overlay networks based on a consistent hashing function have an aftermath load balance problem that needs to be dealt with. A load balancing method should take into...
