Abstract. Replication is a fundamental technique for increasing throughput and achieving fault tolerance in distributed data services. However, its implementation may induce signif...

In this paper, we study phase transition behavior emerging from the interactions among multiple agents in the presence of noise. We propose a simple discrete-time model in which a...
We present a novel distributed algorithm for the maximal independent set (MIS) problem.1 On bounded-independence graphs (BIG) our deterministic algorithm finishes in O(log n) time,...
: The distribution of overlaps of solutions of a random constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is an indicator of the overall geometry of its solution space. For random k-SAT, nonri...
Abstract. This paper reconsiders the deployment of synchronous optical networks (SONET), an optimization problem naturally expressed in terms of set variables. Earlier approaches, ...
