A scalable algorithm for maintaining perpetual system connectivity in dynamic distributed systems
We investigate the problem of maintaining a topology with small degree as well as small diameter in a dynamic distributed system such that the system always stays connected and pr...

On Model Checking Techniques for Randomized Distributed Systems
Abstract. The automata-based model checking approach for randomized distributed systems relies on an operational interleaving semantics of the system by means of a Markov decision ...

Computing the asymptotic worst-case of bin packing lower bounds
This paper addresses the issue of computing the asymptotic worst-case of lower bounds for the Bin Packing Problem. We introduce a general result that allows to bound the asymptoti...

If NP Languages are Hard on the Worst-Case, Then it is Easy to Find Their Hard Instances
We prove that if NP ⊆ BPP, i.e., if SAT is worst-case hard, then for every probabilistic polynomial-time algorithm trying to decide SAT, there exists some polynomially samplable ...

Public-Key Cryptosystems from the Worst-Case Shortest Vector Problem
We construct public-key cryptosystems that are secure assuming the worst-case hardness of approximating the minimum distance on n-dimensional lattices to within small poly(n) fact...

Relativized Worlds without Worst-Case to Average-Case Reductions for NP
We prove that relative to an oracle, there is no worst-case to average-case reduction for NP. We also handle classes that are somewhat larger than NP, as well as worst-case to err...

Mapping for better than worst-case delays in LUT-based FPGA designs
Current advances in chip design and manufacturing have allowed IC manufacturing to approach the nanometer range. As the feature size scales down, greater variability is experience...

Merging State and Preserving Timing Anomalies in Pipelines of High-End Processors
Many embedded systems are subject to temporal constraints that require advance guarantees on meeting deadlines. Such systems rely on static analysis to safely bound worst-case exe...
