Predicting latency between nodes on the internet can have a significant impact on the performance of many services that use latency distances among nodes as a decision making input...
It is well known that different types of social ties have essentially different influence between people. However, users in online social networks rarely categorize their contact...
We present a randomized Byzantine Agreement (BA) protocol with an expected running time of O(log n) rounds, in a synchronous full-information network of n players. For any constan...
Sparsity is a desirable property in high dimensional learning. The 1-norm regularization can lead to primal sparsity, while max-margin methods achieve dual sparsity. Combining the...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been increasingly available for critical applications such as security surveillance and environmental monitoring. An important performance mea...
