A taxonomy of distributed termination detection algorithms
An important problem in the ®eld of distributed systems is that of detecting the termination of a distributed computation. Distributed termination detection (DTD) is a dicult p...

Distributed Inference for Latent Dirichlet Allocation
We investigate the problem of learning a widely-used latent-variable model – the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) or “topic” model – using distributed computation, where ...

A Typed Process Calculus for Fine-Grained Resource Access Control in Distributed Computation
We propose the πD -calculus, a process calculus that can flexibly model fine-grained control of resource access in distributed computation, with a type system that statically pr...
