Motivated by the lossy compression of an active-vision video stream, we consider the problem of finding the rate-distortion function of an arbitrarily varying source (AVS) compos...
The problem of global state observation is fundamental to distributed systems and to the analysis of data streams. Many interactions in distributed systems can be analyzed in term...
Given an arbitrary network of interconnected nodes, we develop and analyze a distributed strategy that enables a subset of the nodes to calculate any given function of the node val...
