Nearly insensitive bounds on SMART scheduling
We define the class of SMART scheduling policies. These are policies that bias towards jobs with small remaining service times, jobs with small original sizes, or both, with the ...

Randomly supported independence and resistance
We prove that for any positive integer k, there is a constant ck such that a randomly selected set of cknk log n Boolean vectors with high probability supports a balanced k-wise i...

Tight bounds for asynchronous randomized consensus
A distributed consensus algorithm allows n processes to reach a common decision value starting from individual inputs. Wait-free consensus, in which a process always terminates wi...

A Note on the Expected Time for Finding Maxima by List Algorithms
Maxima in Rd are found incrementally by maintaining a linked list and comparing new elements against the linked list. If the elements are independent and uniformly distributed in t...

Delayed path coupling and generating random permutations
We analyze various stochastic processes for generating permutations almost uniformly at random in distributed and parallel systems. All our protocols are simple, elegant and are b...
