We experimentally study the reliability of geometric software for point location in simple polygons. As expected, the code we tested works very well for random query points. Howeve...
We propose a framework for “probabilistic functional testing.” The success of a test data set generated according to our method guarantees a certain level of confidence into ...
We examine the problem of minimizing feedbacks in reliable wireless broadcasting, by pairing rateless coding with extreme value theory. Our key observation is that, in a broadcast ...
