Abstract. We motivate in this paper the need for application-level proximity. This proximity is a function of network characteristics that decide on the application performance. Mo...
Let X1, X2, . . . , Xk be independent n bit random variables. If they have arbitrary distributions, we show how to compute distributions like Pr{X1 ⊕ X2 ⊕ · · · ⊕ Xk} and ...
