Abstract--The problem of joint universal source coding and density estimation is considered in the setting of fixed-rate lossy coding of continuous-alphabet memoryless sources. For...
Turbo coding is a powerful class of error correcting codes, which can achieve performances close to the Shannon limit. The turbo principle can be applied to the problem of side-in...

Distributed source coding schemes are typically based on the use of channels codes as source codes. In this paper we propose a new paradigm, termed “distributed arithmetic codin...
We study the problem of rate-distortion optimal packetization with uneven erasure protection (UEP) of scalable source sequence, into multiple groups of packets. The grouping of pa...
We present hoc: a fast, scalable object repository providing programmers with a general storage module. hoc may be used to implement DSMs as well as distributed cache subsystems. h...
