We introduce external synchrony, a new model for local file I/O that provides the reliability and simplicity of synchronous I/O, yet also closely approximates the performance of a...

Given a set of robots with arbitrary initial location and no agreement on a global coordinate system, convergence requires that all robots asymptotically approach the exact same, ...

Abstract. The concept of unreliable failure detectors for reliable distributed systems was introduced by Chandra and Toueg as a fine-grained means to add weak forms of synchrony i...
Abstract— We derive new analytic approximations to the capacity distribution of frequency-selective Rayleigh fading MIMO channels. The results apply specifically to OFDM-based s...

Abstract—BitTorrent has been the most popular P2P (Peer-toPeer) paradigm during recent years. Built upon great intuition, the piece-selection and neighbor-selection modules roote...
