A theory of goal-oriented communication
We put forward a general theory of goal-oriented communication, where communication is not an end in itself, but rather a means to achieving some goals of the communicating partie...

On Quiescent Reliable Communication
We study the problem of achieving reliable communication with quiescent algorithms (i.e., algorithms that eventually stop sending messages) in asynchronous systems with process cra...

A game theoretic comparison of TCP and digital fountain based protocols
In this paper we analyze a novel paradigm of reliable communication which is not based on the traditional timeout-andretransmit mechanism of TCP. Our approach, which we call Fount...

Probing Capacity
We consider the problem of optimal probing of states of a channel by transmitter and receiver for maximizing rate of reliable communication. The channel is discrete memoryless (DM...

Reconciling the Theory and Practice of (Un)Reliable Wireless Broadcast
Theorists and practitioners have fairly different perspectives on how wireless broadcast works. Theorists think about synchrony; practitioners think about backoff. Theorists assum...
