In real-time optimization, enforcing the constraints that need to be active is important for optimality. In fact, it has been established in the context of parametric variations that, if these constraints are not satisfied, the optimality loss would be O($ ...
Among all classes of faults, Byzantine faults form the most general modeling of value faults. Traditionally, in the Byzantine fault model, faults are statically attributed to a set of up to t processes. This, however, implies that in this model a process a ...
In response priming, the reaction times to classify an object can be affected by previous exposure to a similar object. Most priming experiments focus on how primes prime a target. In the following set of experiments, we investigate how the interaction bet ...
The so-called first selection lemma states the following: given any set P of n points in a"e (d) , there exists a point in a"e (d) contained in at least c (d) n (d+1)-O(n (d) ) simplices spanned by P, where the constant c (d) depends on d. We present impro ...
We show that, with k-set consensus, any number of processes can emulate k state machines of which at least one progresses. This generalizes the celebrated universality of consensus which enables to build a state machine that always progresses. Besides some ...
Coopetition has been defined as an approach to managing that combines competition and cooperation. It transcends the traditional paradigms of competition and cooperation in an effort to achieve the advantages of both. As an inter-organizational relationshi ...
This book is the set of lecture notes for a course given at EPFL. It contains all the material needed by an engineer who wishes to evaluate the performance of a computer or communication system. ...
The purpose of this paper is to build on a set of recent theoretical studies investigating the role of subjective insights and judgments in the resource-based view and to extend this important line of inquiry by offering a detailed assessment of how agents ...
In this paper, we consider the use of object duplicate detection for the propagation of geotags from a small set of images with location names (IPTC) to a large set of non-tagged images. The motivation behind this idea is that images of individual location ...

Lossless transmission of a set of correlated sources over a deterministic relay network is considered for two traffic requirements. In distributed multicast, the set of sources are to be delivered to a set of destinations. The source exchange requires all ...
