Quantization is intrinsic to several data acquisition systems. This process is especially important in distributed settings, where observations must rst be compressed before they ...
: Provide application processes with strong agreement guarantees despite failures is a fundamental problem of fault-tolerant distributed computing. Correct processes have not to be...
Abstract. The subject of this paper is nding small sample spaces for joint distributions of n discrete random variables. Such distributions are often only required to obey a certa...
Modern search engines are expected to make documents searchable shortly after they appear on the ever changing Web. To satisfy this requirement, the Web is frequently crawled. Due...
We characterize all limit laws of the quicksort type random variables defined recursively by Xn d = XIn + X n-1-In + Tn when the "toll function" Tn varies and satisfies ...
