Rethink the sync
We introduce external synchrony, a new model for local file I/O that provides the reliability and simplicity of synchronous I/O, yet also closely approximates the performance of a...

Byzantine-Resilient Convergence in Oblivious Robot Networks
Given a set of robots with arbitrary initial location and no agreement on a global coordinate system, convergence requires that all robots asymptotically approach the exact same, ...

Accurate Approximations for the Capacity Distribution of OFDM-Based Spatial Multiplexing
Abstract— We derive new analytic approximations to the capacity distribution of frequency-selective Rayleigh fading MIMO channels. The results apply specifically to OFDM-based s...
