Privacy Amplification with Asymptotically Optimal Entropy Loss
We study the problem of "privacy amplification": key agreement between two parties who both know a weak secret w, such as a password. (Such a setting is ubiquitous on th...

Static Scheduling of Monoprocessor Real-Time Systems composed of Hard and Soft Tasks
In this report we address the problem of static scheduling of realtime systems that include both hard and soft tasks. We consider systems in which both hard and soft tasks are per...

Improved Hardness of Approximation for Stackelberg Shortest-Path Pricing
We consider the Stackelberg shortest-path pricing problem, which is defined as follows. Given a graph G with fixed-cost and pricable edges and two distinct vertices s and t, we may...

A Kernighan-Lin Local Improvement Heuristic That Solves Some Hard Problems in Genetic Algorithms
We present a Kernighan-Lin style local improvement heuristic for genetic algorithms. We analyze the run-time cost of the heuristic. We demonstrate through experiments that the heur...

An adaptive strategy for maximizing throughput in MAC layer wireless multicast
Bandwidth efficiency of wireless multicast can be improved substantially by exploiting the fact that several receivers can be reached at the MAC layer by a single transmission. T...
