From the World Wide Web to supply chains and scientific simulations, distributed systems are a widely used and important approach to building computational systems. Tracking prov...
Realistic rendering of materials such as milk, fruits, wax, marble, and so on, requires the simulation of subsurface scattering of light. This paper presents an algorithm for plau...

We present new explicit constructions of deterministic randomness extractors, dispersers and related objects. We say that a distribution X on binary strings of length n is a -sour...

This paper presents a distributed scheduling algorithm for the support of QoS in multiaccess networks. Unlike most contention-based multiaccess protocols which o er no QoS guarant...
Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) and Random Peer Sampling (RPS) provide important and complementary services in the area of P2P overlay networks. DHTs achieve efficient lookup whil...
