We investigate the question of when a prover can aid a verifier to reliably compute a function faster than if the verifier were to compute the function on its own. Our focus is ...
We consider the robot exploration of a planar graphlike world. The robot's goal is to build a complete map of its environment. The environment is modeled as an arbitrary undi...

Model checking can tell us whether a system is correct; probabilistic model checking can also tell us whether a system is timely and reliable. Moreover, probabilistic model checkin...
Extractable functions are functions where any adversary that outputs a point in the range of the function is guaranteed to "know" a corresponding preimage. Here, knowledg...
We introduce transactors, a fault-tolerant programming model for composing loosely-coupled distributed components running in an unreliable environment such as the internet into sy...
