We consider the problem of fault-tolerant agreement in a crash-prone synchronous system. We present a new randomized consensus algorithm that achieves optimal communication effici...
User-level communication alleviates the software overhead of the communication subsystem by allowing applications to access the network interface directly. For that purpose, effici...
We consider the amount of communication required to verify the outcome of the Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanism: an efficient allocation together with incentivizing VCG paymen...
— Intelligent Agents have originated a lot of discussion about what they are, and how they are different from general programs. We describe in this paper a new paradigm for intel...
This paper presents a multimodal framework for the communication between blind and hearing impaired people. The algorithms that are developed are based on the concept of modality r...
