We derive a new entropic quantum uncertainty relation involving min-entropy. The relation is tight and can be applied in various quantum-cryptographic settings. Protocols for quant...
A read-only transaction (ROT) does not modify any data. The main issues regarding processing ROTs are correctness, data currency and performance. Two-phase Locking (2PL) protocol i...
Distributed computation systems have become an important tool for scientific simulation, and a similarly distributed replica management system may be employed to increase the loc...
Interacting agents that interleave planning and execution must reach consensus on their commitments to each other. In domains where agents have varying degrees of interaction and ...
