A Mobile World of Security

Christine Neuberg

Security in mobile communications is a topic of increasing relevance in everyday life. We all use mobile devices for everyday communications, maybe even for exchanging confidential information with the work place. This requires security systems that are re ...

Rateless Codes for AVC Models

Michael Christoph Gastpar

The arbitrarily varying channel (AVC) is a channel model whose state is selected maliciously by an adversary. Fixed-blocklength coding assumes a worst-case bound on the adversary's capabilities, which leads to pessimistic results. This paper defines a vari ...

The relative contributions of private information sharing and public information releases to information aggregation

Semyon Malamud, Darrell Duffie

We calculate learning rates when agents are informed through public and private observation of other agents' actions. We characterize the evolution of the distribution of posterior beliefs. If the private learning channel is present, convergence of the dis ...

Fast Randomized Test-and-Set and Renaming

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh, Hagit Albo Attiya, Andrei Giurgiu

Most people believe that renaming is easy: simply choose a name \emph{at random}; if more than one process selects the same name, then try again. We highlight the issues that occur when trying to implement such a scheme and shed new light on the read-write ...

Applications of Derandomization Theory in Coding

Mahdi Cheraghchi Bashi Astaneh

Randomized techniques play a fundamental role in theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics, in particular for the design of efficient algorithms and construction of combinatorial objects. The basic goal in derandomization theory is to eliminate ...

Capacitated disassembly scheduling with random demand

Paul Xirouchakis, Hwa-Joong Kim

This paper considers disassembly scheduling, which is the problem of determining the quantity and timing of the end-of-use/life products to be disassembled while satisfying the demand for their parts obtained from disassembling the products over a planning ...

Heuristics for a two-stage hybrid flowshop scheduling problem with ready times and a product-mix ratio constraint

Jongho Shin, Byung Jun Joo

This paper focuses on the scheduling problem of minimizing makespan for a given set of jobs in a two-stage hybrid flowshop subject to a product-mix ratio constraint. There are identical parallel machines at the first stage of the hybrid flowshop, while the ...

The arcsine law as a universal aging scheme for trap models

Jiri Cerny

We give a general proof of aging for trap models using the arcsine law for stable subordinators. This proof is based on abstract conditions on the potential theory of the underlying graph and on the randomness of the trapping landscape. We apply this proof ...

Cryptanalysis of an E0-like Combiner with Memory

Serge Vaudenay, Yi Lu

In this paper, we study an E0-like combiner with memory as the keystream generator. First, we formulate a systematic and simple method to compute correlations of the FSM output sequences (up to certain bits). An upper bound of the correlations is given, wh ...
