How much can randomness help computation? Motivated by this general question and by volume computation, one of the few instances where randomness provably helps, we analyze a noti...
We define a family of Distributed Hash Table systems whose aim is to combine routing efficiency of the randomized networks — i.e. average path length O(log n/ log log n) vs. t...

In this paper we consider the problem of searching for a node or an object (i.e., piece of data, file, etc.) in a large wireless network. We consider the class of controlled flo...
Abstract. We investigate the online exploration problem of a shortsighted mobile robot moving in an unknown cellular room without obstacles. The robot has a very limited sensor; it...

For the problem of online real-time scheduling of jobs on a single processor, previous work presents matching upper and lower bounds on the competitive ratio that can be achieved ...
