Farsite is a scalable, distributed file system that logically functions as a centralized file server but that is physically implemented on a set of client desktop computers. Farsi...
A central problem in learning in complex environmentsis balancing exploration of untested actions against exploitation of actions that are known to be good. The benefit of explora...
We propose an algorithm for the hierarchical aggregation of observations in dissemination-based, distributed traffic information systems. Instead of transmitting observed paramete...
This paper explains how Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) can provide a principled mathematical framework for modelling the inherent uncertainty in spoken di...

We study the worst-case communication complexity of distributed algorithms computing a path problem based on stationary distributions of random walks in a network G with the caveat...
