Abstract. Three theoretical perspectives upon conservation of performance in function optimization are outlined. In terms of statistical information, performance is conserved when ...
A central question in designing server farms today is how to efficiently provision the number of servers to extract the best performance under unpredictable demand patterns while ...

We consider distributed algorithms to optimize random access multihop wireless networks in the presence of fading. Since the associated optimization problem is neither convex nor ...
Scalar quantizers with uniform encoders and channel optimized decoders are studied for uniform sources and binary symmetric channels. It is shown that the Natural Binary Code and ...
We consider the problem of fault-tolerant agreement in a crash-prone synchronous system. We present a new randomized consensus algorithm that achieves optimal communication effici...
