Extractors (defined by Nisan and Zuckerman) are procedures that use a small number of truly random bits (called the seed) to extract many (almost) truly random bits from arbitrar...
Applications that use collections of very large, distributed datasets have become an increasingly important part of science and engineering. With high performance wide-area networ...
The BaBar experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) is designed to perform a high precision investigation of the decays of the B-meson produced from electron-pos...
Abstract: Reliable data transmission over wireless multi-hop networks, called ad hoc networks, has proven to be non-trivial. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), a widely used end-...
Fault-tolerant techniques that can cope with system failures in software distributed shared memory (SDSM) are essential for creating productive and highly available parallel compu...
