A major challenge facing grid applications is the appropriate handling of failures. In this paper we address the problem of making parallel Java applications based on Remote Method...
We suggest a general paradigm of using large-scale distributed computation to solve difficult problems, but where humans can act as agents and provide candidate solutions. We are e...

Testing forms a critical part of the development process for large-scale software, and there is growing need for automated tools that can read, represent, analyze, and transform th...
We present a single-database private information retrieval (PIR) scheme with communication complexity O(k+d), where k ≥ log n is a security parameter that depends on the database...
We prove new lower bounds for locally decodable codes and private information retrieval. We show that a 2-query LDC encoding nbit strings over an ℓ-bit alphabet, where the decode...
