Online hierarchical cooperative caching
We address a hierarchical generalization of the well-known disk paging problem. In the hierarchical cooperative caching problem, a set of n machines residing in an ultrametric spa...

Adaptive Simulated Annealing: A Near-optimal Connection between Sampling and Counting
We present a near-optimal reduction from approximately counting the cardinality of a discrete set to approximately sampling elements of the set. An important application of our wo...

Locally scalable randomized consensus for synchronous crash failures
We consider bit communication complexity of binary consensus in synchronous message passing systems with processes prone to crashes. A distributed algorithm is locally scalable wh...

Active Learning on Trees and Graphs
We investigate the problem of active learning on a given tree whose nodes are assigned binary labels in an adversarial way. Inspired by recent results by Guillory and Bilmes, we c...

Work-competitive scheduling for cooperative computing with dynamic groups
The problem of cooperatively performing a set of t tasks in a decentralized setting where the computing medium is subject to failures is one of the fundamental problems in distrib...
