Let C be a class of probability distributions over a finite set . A function D : {0, 1}m is a disperser for C with entropy threshold k and error if for any distribution X in C s...
Let C be a class of distributions over {0, 1}n . A deterministic randomness extractor for C is a function E : {0, 1}n {0, 1}m such that for any X in C the distribution E(X) is sta...
The increasing complexity of today’s systems makes fast and accurate failure detection essential for their use in mission-critical applications. Various monitoring methods provi...
