This paper introduces a simple and very general theory of compressive sensing. In this theory, the sensing mechanism simply selects sensing vectors independently at random from a ...
Robust distributed systems commonly employ high-level recovery mechanisms enabling the system to recover from a wide variety of problematic environmental conditions such as node f...

Workstation clusters are becoming an interesting alternative to dedicated multiprocessors. In this environment, the probability of a failure, during an application's executio...
Previous analytic models of TCP Vegas throughput have been developed for loss-free (all-Vegas) networks. This work develops a simple and accurate analytic model for the throughput...
As the disks typically found in personal computers grow larger, protecting data by replicating it on a collection of “peer” systems rather than on dedicated high performance s...
