The proliferation of online information resources increases the importance of effective and efficient distributed searching. Distributed searching is cast in three parts – datab...

Normal surface theory is a central tool in algorithmic threedimensional topology, and the enumeration of vertex normal surfaces is the computational bottleneck in many important a...
We present a new approach for reasoning about liveness properties of distributed systems, represented as automata. Our approach is based on simulation relations, and requires reas...
We present a combinatorial framework for the study of a natural class of distributed optimization problems that involve decisionmaking by a collection of n distributed agents in th...
Virtual types have been proposed as a notation for generic programming in object-oriented languages—an alternative to the more familiar mechanism of parametric classes. The trade...
