In this paper we show the power of sampling techniques in designing efficient distributed algorithms. In particular, we show that using sampling techniques, on some networks, sele...
Interactive program steering permits researchers to monitor and guide their applications during runtime. Interactive steering can help make end users more effective in addressing ...
Correctly predicting the direction that branches will take is increasingly important in today’s wide-issue computer architectures. The name program-based branch prediction is gi...

In the course of developing a system for fitting smooth curves to camera input we have developed several direct (i.e. noniterative) methods for fitting a shape (line, circle, conic...
Effective system verification requires good specifications. The lack of sufficient specifications can lead to misses of critical bugs, design re-spins, and time-to-market slips. I...
