A monotone distribution P over a (partially) ordered domain assigns higher probability to y than to x if y x in the order. We study several natural problems concerning testing pr...
Coordination and access control are related issues in open distributed agent systems, being both concerned with governing interaction between agents and resources. In particular, w...

Conventional resource management systems use a system model to describe resources and a centralized scheduler to control their allocation. We argue that this paradigm does not ada...
Abstract. Suppose one has access to oracles generating samples from two unknown probability distributions p and q on some N-element set. How many samples does one need to test whet...
In this paper, we develop algorithms for distributed computation of averages of the node data over networks with bandwidth/power constraints or large volumes of data. Distributed ...
