Social networks provide interesting algorithmic properties that can be used to bootstrap the security of distributed systems. For example, it is widely believed that social networ...
We propose two new asynchronous algorithms for solving Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (DisCSPs). The first algorithm, AFC-ng, is a nogood-based version of Asynchronou...

We introduce novel algorithms for generating random solutions from a uniform distribution over the solutions of a boolean satisfiability problem. Our algorithms operate in two pha...
In many real-world domains, undirected graphical models such as Markov random fields provide a more natural representation of the dependency structure than directed graphical mode...

In cluster-based storage systems, the metadata server cluster must be able to adaptively distribute responsibility for metadata to maintain high system performance and long-term l...
