Abstract— We consider the following problem of decentralized statistical inference: given i.i.d. samples from an unknown distribution, estimate an arbitrary quantile subject to l...
Software composition is critical for building large-scale applications. In this paper, we consider the composition of components that are methods offered by heterogeneous, autonomo...
Many scientific and engineering applications, which are increasingly being ported from software to reconfigurable platforms, require Gaussian-distributed random numbers. Thus, the...
