The research on P2P systems which support skewed key distributions has rapidly advanced in the recent years. Yet, the assumptions on the skews we are dealing with remained pretty simple: most of the existing literature assumes simple monotonous key distrib ...
[1] In this paper we extend previous mathematical results on the probabilistic modeling of base flows driven by spatial and temporal fluctuations of soil moisture and affected by intermittent rainfall forcings and by heterogeneous transport, soil, and vege ...
We present two upper bounds on the capacity of the i.i.d. binary deletion channel, where each bit is independently deleted with a fixed probability d. The first can be numerically evaluated for any fixed d. The second provides an asymptotic upper bound as ...

Spectrum sensing is a key enabling functionality in cognitive radio (CR) networks, where the CRs act as secondary users that opportunistically access free frequency bands. Due to the effects of channel fading, individual CRs may not be able to reliably det ...
Generalised extreme value models provide an interesting theoretical framework to develop closed-form random utility models. Unfortunately, few instances of this family are to be found as operational models in practice. The form of the model, based on a gen ...
We do a case study of two different analysis techniques for studying the stochastic behavior of a randomized system/algorithms: (i) The first approach can be broadly termed as a mean value analysis (MVA), where the evolution of the mean state is studied as ...
Experiments on edge turbulence in the TCV tokamak have been performed for the first time at the beginning of 2003. This paper presents an overview of some of the results obtained, concentrating in particular on two areas: universality of density fluctuatio ...
In general, entropy gives us a measure of the number of bits required to represent some information. When applied to probability mass function (PMF), entropy can also be used to measure the ``peakiness'' of a distribution. In this paper, we propose using t ...
The main goal of this diploma work is the implementation of Matsui's linear cryptanalysis of DES and a statistical and theoretical analysis of its complexity and success probability. In order to achieve this goal, we implement first a very fast DES routine ...
Content storage in a distributed collaborative environment uses redundancy for better resilience and thus provides good availability and durability. In a peer-to-peer environment, where peers continuously leave and rejoin the network, various lazy strategi ...
