On Probabilistic Parallel Programs with Process Creation and Synchronisation
We initiate the study of probabilistic parallel programs with dynamic process creation and synchronisation. To this end, we introduce probabilistic split-join systems (pSJSs), a mo...

Asymptotically Optimal Model Estimation for Quantization
—Using high-rate theory approximations we introduce flexible practical quantizers based on possibly non-Gaussian models in both the constrained resolution (CR) and the constrain...
