Gossip protocols provide probabilistic reliability and scalability, but their inherent randomness may lead to high variation in number of messages that are received at different n...

Dataflow synchronous languages have attracted considerable interest in domains such as real-time control and hardware design. The potential benefits are promising: Discrete-time...
We address the problems of I/O scheduling and buffer management for general reference strings in a parallel I/O system. Using the standard parallel disk model withD disks and a sh...
In this work we give the first deterministic extractors from a constant number of weak sources whose entropy rate is less than 1/2. Specifically, for every > 0 we give an expl...
We study deterministic extractors for bit-fixing sources (a.k.a. resilient functions) and exposure-resilient functions for small min-entropy. That is, of the n bits given as input...
