This paper studies the effects of introducing altruistic agents into atomic congestion games. Altruistic behavior is modeled by a trade-off between selfish and social objectives. ...
Network coding increases throughput and is robust against failures and erasures. However, since it allows mixing of information within the network, a single corrupted packet genera...
Data-intensive applications often require exploratory analysis of large datasets. If analysis is performed on distributed resources, data locality can be crucial to high throughpu...

We study the feasibility and cost of implementing --a fundamental failure detector at the core of many algorithms--in systems with weak reliability and synchrony assumptions. Intui...
Fast algorithms are presented for performing computations in a probabilistic population model. This is a variant of the standard population protocol model--in which finite-state ag...
