We consider the problem of constructing randomness extractors that are locally computable; that is, read only a small number of bits from their input. As recently shown by Lu (thi...
We present a new polynomial-space algorithm for solving Distributed Constraint Optimization problems (DCOP). The algorithm, called NCBB, is branch and bound search with modificati...
Many network applications that require Quality-ofService QoS support, such as transmission of digital voice and video, tolerate a certain level of service degradation. In this s...
In preemptive real-time systems, scheduling analyses need—in addition to the worst-case execution time—the context-switch cost. In case of preemption, the preempted and the pr...
A kernel over the Boolean domain is said to be reflection-invariant, if its value does not change when we flip the same bit in both arguments. (Many popular kernels have this prop...
