A Distributed Routing Algorithm for Networks with Data-Path Services
Abstract—Many next-generation Internet architectures propose advanced packet processing functions in the data path of the network. Such “services” are typically performed on ...

On sums of independent random variables with unbounded variance, and estimating the average degree in a graph
We prove the following inequality: for every positive integer n and every collection X1, . . . , Xn of nonnegative independent random variables that each has expectation 1, the pr...

Polylogarithmic Independence Can Fool DNF Formulas
We show that any k-wise independent probability distribution on {0, 1}n O(m2.22− √ k/10)fools any boolean function computable by an m-clause DNF (or CNF) formula on n variable...

Bounding the Partition Function of Spin-Systems
With a graph G = (V, E) we associate a collection of non-negative real weights vV {i,v : 1 i m} uvE{ij,uv : 1 i j m}. We consider the probability distribution on {f : V {1,...

On-line Optimal Control of a Class of Discrete Event Systems with Real-Time Constraints
We consider Discrete Event Systems (DES) involving tasks with real-time constraints and seek to control processing times so as to minimize a cost function subject to each task mee...
