Following the entropy method this paper presents general concentration inequalities, which can be applied to combinatorial optimization and empirical processes. The inequalities g...
We study the optimization of the expected number of bytes that must be transferred by the Web server when a user visits one of its pages. Given a Web site, we want to find an assi...

Optimality conditions are derived for problems of minimizing a general measure of deviation of a random variable, with special attention to situations where the random variable cou...

We consider the problem of fault-tolerant agreement in a crash-prone synchronous system. We present a new randomized consensus algorithm that achieves optimal communication effici...
In this paper, we study the problem of dynamic allocation of the resources of a general parallel processing system, comprised of M heterogeneous processors and M heterogeneous tra...
