We consider the asymmetric multilevel diversity (A-MLD) coding problem, where a set of 2 K 1 information sources, ordered in a decreasing level of importance, is encoded into K me...
We present Binary Refactoring: a software engineering technique for improving the implementation of programs without modifying their source code. While related to regular refactor...
We present a strategy to derive an efficient reference count garbage collector for any applicative program by only modifying it on the source code level. The key to the approach is...
Abstract— Marshaling or serialization of objects is an important component of both distributed and parallel computing. Current systems impose a significant burden on the program...
—In this paper we consider an interacting two-agent sequential decision-making problem consisting of a Markov source process, a causal encoder with feedback, and a causal decoder...
