Due to fundamental physical limitations and power constraints, we are witnessing a radical change in commodity microprocessor architectures to multicore designs. Continued perform...
Abstract. Replication is a fundamental technique for increasing throughput and achieving fault tolerance in distributed data services. However, its implementation may induce signif...

In this paper, we study phase transition behavior emerging from the interactions among multiple agents in the presence of noise. We propose a simple discrete-time model in which a...
We consider submodular optimization problems, and provide a general way of translating oracle inapproximability results arising from the symmetry gap technique to computational co...
We present tropical games, a generalization of combinatorial min-max games based on tropical algebras. Our model breaks the traditional symmetry of rational zero-sum games where pl...
