While desktop grids are attractive platforms for executing parallel applications, their volatile nature has often limited their use to so-called “high-throughput” applications...
The problem of computing functions of values at the nodes in a network in a fully distributed manner, where nodes do not have unique identities and make decisions based only on loc...
Let X1, X2, . . . , Xk be independent n bit random variables. If they have arbitrary distributions, we show how to compute distributions like Pr{X1 ⊕ X2 ⊕ · · · ⊕ Xk} and ...
Many existing privacy-preserving techniques for querying distributed databases of sensitive information do not scale for large databases due to the use of heavyweight cryptographi...

We study the empirical meaning of randomness with respect to a family of probability distributions P, where is a real parameter, using algorithmic randomness theory. In the case w...
