We investigate optimal routing and scheduling strategies for multi-hop wireless networks with rateless codes. Rateless codes allow each node of the network to accumulate mutual in...
Based on a recent development in the area of error control coding, we introduce the notion of convolutional factor graphs (CFGs) as a new class of probabilistic graphical models. ...
An (n, m, k)-resilient function is a function f : Fn 2 → Fm 2 such that every possible output m-tuple is equally likely to occur when the values of k arbitrary inputs are fixed ...
A GRASP (greedy randomized adaptive search procedure) is a multi-start metaheuristic for combinatorial optimization. We study the probability distributions of solution time to a su...

Abstract--We adapt methods originally developed in information and coding theory to solve some testing problems. The efficiency of two-stage pool testing of items is characterized ...
