Many distributed software systems allow participation by large numbers of untrusted, potentially faulty components on an open network. As faults are inevitable in this setting, th...

We analyze various stochastic processes for generating permutations almost uniformly at random in distributed and parallel systems. All our protocols are simple, elegant and are b...
Background: DNA microarrays provide an efficient method for measuring activity of genes in parallel and even covering all the known transcripts of an organism on a single array. T...

Minimum-error-rate training (MERT) is a bottleneck for current development in statistical machine translation because it is limited in the number of weights it can reliably optimi...
The demand for more computational power in science and engineering has spurred the design and deployment of ever-growing cluster systems. Even though the individual components use...
