Failures far away from a user should intuitively be less likely to affect that user. Today's ecosystem miserably fails this test, however, despite high-availability best practices. Correlated and cascading failures – triggered by misconfigurations, bugs, a ...
Software network functions (NFs), such as a network address translator, load balancer, or proxy,
promise to bring flexibility and rapid innovation to computer networks and to reduce operational costs.
However, continuous updates and flexibility typically c ...
Peer reviewing is one of the core processes of science. While the typical blind system helps to improve original submissions, there are opportunities for academic publishing to learn from open source practices (commits, bug reports, feature requests, docum ...
Debugging real systems is hard, requires deep knowledge of the target code, and is time-consuming. Bug reports rarely provide sufficient information for debugging, thus forcing developers to turn into detectives searching for an explanation of how the prog ...

In the past five years, industry has overwhelmingly turned to open source as a primary means to build products and services atop of, with around 80% of surveyed companies acknowledging that they run on open source. 66% of companies say they would first c ...
We present wannier90, a program for calculating maximally-localised Wannier functions (MLWF) from a set of Bloch energy bands that may or may not be attached to or mixed with other bands. The formalism works by minimising the total spread of the MLWF in re ...
This paper investigates context-driven flow allocation and media delivery in online social networks. We exploit information on contacts and content preferences found in social networking applications to provide efficient network services and operation at t ...

Debugging real systems is hard, requires deep knowledge of the code, and is time-consuming. Bug reports rarely provide sufficient information, thus forcing developers to turn into detectives searching for an explanation of how the program could have arrive ...
Modern systems for real-time hand tracking rely on a combination of discriminative and generative approaches to robustly recover hand poses. Generative approaches require the specification of a geometric model. In this paper, we propose a the use of sphere ...
It is notoriously hard to develop dependable distributed systems. This is partly due to the difficulties in foreseeing various corner cases and failure scenarios while implementing a system that will be deployed over an asynchronous network. In contrast, r ...
