We present a number of positive and negative results for variants of the matroid secretary problem. Most notably, we design a constant-factor competitive algorithm for the “rando...
We consider the problem of reliable broadcast in a wireless network in which nodes are prone to failure. In the failure mode considered in this paper, each node can fail independe...
Random geometric graphs have been one of the fundamental models for reasoning about wireless networks: one places n points at random in a region of the plane (typically a square o...

Abstract-- This paper introduces a deterministic approximation algorithm with error guarantees for computing the probability of propositional formulas over discrete random variable...
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications typically use overlay networks to forward the content queries. However, due to the distributed fashion of the overlay establishment, the overlay ne...
