We introduce the distributed gradient clock synchronization problem. As in traditional distributed clock synchronization, we consider a network of nodes equipped with hardware clo...
— We consider a ring topology with limited or full switching capability as deployed in high bandwidth metro optical networks and develop a model to estimate the probability of bl...
—1 End to end QoS of communication systems is essential for users but their performance evaluation is a complex issue. The ion of such systems are usually given by multidimension...
We address the problem of computing approximate marginals in Gaussian probabilistic models by using mean field and fractional Bethe approximations. As an extension of Welling and ...
We derive bounds on the expected loss for authentication protocols in channels which are constrained due to noisy
conditions and communication costs. This is motivated by a
numbe...
