— The paper deals with the problem of the carrier frequency-offset (CFO) estimation for wireless communications. Since the well-known maximum-likelihood (ML) CFO estimator is rat...
In this paper, we discuss and compare several policies to place replicas in tree networks, subject to server capacity constraints. The client requests are known beforehand, while ...
A fundamental problem that confronts decentralized reputation systems is the design of efficient, secure and incentive-compatible mechanisms to gather trust information despite m...
Memory management is a critical issue in stream processing involving stateful operators such as join. Traditionally, the memory requirement for a stream join is query-driven: a qu...
We study the classic problem of estimating the sum of n variables. The traditional uniform sampling approach requires a linear number of samples to provide any non-trivial guarante...
