Protocols for distributed systems make often use of random transitions to achieve a common goal. A popular example are randomized leader election protocols. We introduce probabilis...
In this paper the judgement consisting in choosing a function that is believed to dominate the true probability distribution of a continuous random variable is explored. This kind...
In case of natural disasters or intentional attacks, telecommunication networks often get heavily damaged and current resilience schemes have proven to be insufficient for rapid r...
Simulations often depend heavily on random numbers, yet the impact of random number generators is recognized seldom. The generation of random numbers for simulations is not trivia...

Abstract—Provisioning random access functions in peer-topeer on-demand video streaming is challenging, due to not only the asynchronous user interactivity but also the unpredicta...
