The current proof of the PCP Theorem (i.e., NP = PCP(log, O(1))) is very complicated. One source of difficulty is the technically involved analysis of low-degree tests. Here, we r...
Let M be a fixed finite monoid. We consider the problem of implementing a data type containing a vector x ϭ ( x1, x2, . . . , xn) ʦ Mn , initially (1, 1, . . . , 1), with two kin...

We show that two cooperating robots can learn exactly any strongly-connected directed graph with n indistinguishable nodes in expected time polynomial in n. We introduce a new typ...
Many strategies have been proposed to address the problems associated with managing increasingly complex computing systems. IBM's Autonomic Computing (AC) paradigm is one suc...
This paper contributes to the evolving body of knowledge pertaining to the study of digitally-enabled social networks, their usage, and their effects on people, organization, and s...
