We study the problem of computing approximate quantiles in large-scale sensor networks communication-efficiently, a problem previously studied by Greenwald and Khana [12] and Shri...
We revisit the following open problem in information-theoretic cryptography: Does the communication complexity of unconditionally secure computation depend on the computational com...
We study Reader-Writer Exclusion [1], a well-known variant of the Mutual Exclusion problem [2] where processes are divided into two classes–readers and writers–and multiple re...
Multi-Agent Agreement problems (MAP) - the ability of a population of agents to search out and converge on a common state - are central issues in many multi-agent settings, from d...
In a sampling problem, we are given an input x {0, 1} n , and asked to sample approximately from a probability distribution Dx over poly (n)-bit strings. In a search problem, we ...
