This paper provides the first explicit construction of extractors which are simultaneously optimal up to constant factors in both seed length and output length. More precisely, fo...

Structured peer-to-peer systems rely on replication as a basic means to provide fault-tolerance in presence of high churn. Most select replicas using either multiple hash functions...
The use of sub-optimal digital systems can at times lead to high speed, efficient, costeffective structures that are sufficient to perform needed tasks. We describe here a system ...
We examine the problem of minimizing feedbacks in reliable wireless broadcasting, by pairing rateless coding with extreme value theory. Our key observation is that, in a broadcast ...

We consider asynchronous communication over point-to-point discrete memoryless channels without feedback. The transmitter starts sending one block codeword at an instant that is u...
