The ability to checkpoint a running application and restart it later can provide many useful benefits including fault recovery, advanced resources sharing, dynamic load balancing...
We consider a portfolio allocation problem where the objective function is a tail event such as probability of large portfolio losses. The dependence between assets is captured th...
It is known that if a 2-universal hash function H is applied to elements of a block source (X1, . . . , XT ), where each item Xi has enough min-entropy conditioned on the previous...
We propose Markov random fields (MRFs) as a probabilistic mathematical model for unifying approaches to multi-robot coordination or, more specifically, distributed action selectio...

Abstract-- A network of nodes communicate via noisy channels. Each node has some real-valued initial measurement or message. The goal of each of the nodes is to acquire an estimate...
