Abstractions for asynchronous distributed computing with malicious players

Marko Vukolic

In modern distributed systems, failures are the norm rather than the exception. In many cases, these failures are not benign. Settings such as the Internet might incur malicious (also called Byzantine or arbitrary) behavior and asynchrony. As a result, and ...

A profiling framework for high level design space exploration for memory and system architectures

In 1971, the first microprocessor produced in mass production had 2300 transistor and was able to compute 60'000 operations per second at 740 kHz. Nowadays, even a common gaming console uses a central unit including 243 millions of transistors running at 4 ...

The medial axis of the union of inner Voronoi balls in the plane

Mark Pauly

Consider a dense sampling S of the smooth boundary of a planar shape O, i.e., an open subset of R-2. We show that the medial axis of the union of Voronoi balls centered at Voronoi vertices inside O has a particularly simple structure: it is the union of al ...

Reducing Time Complexity in RFID Systems

Gildas Avoine, Philippe Oechslin, Etienne Dysli

Radio frequency identification systems based on low-cost computing devices is the new plaything that every company would like to adopt. Its goal can be either to improve the productivity or to strengthen the security. Specific identification protocols base ...

Keypoint Recognition using Randomized Trees

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit

In many 3--D object-detection and pose-estimation problems, run-time performance is of critical importance. However, there usually is time to train the system, which we will show to be very useful. Assuming that several registered images of the target obje ...

The Inherent Price of Indulgence

Rachid Guerraoui, Partha Dutta

This paper presents a tight lower bound on the time complexity of indulgent consensus algorithms, i.e., consensus algorithms that use unreliable failure detectors. We state and prove our tight lower bound in the unifying framework of round-by-round fault d ...

Range queries in trie-structured overlays

Karl Aberer, Manfred Hauswirth, Anwitaman Datta, Roman Schmidt, Renault John Lecoultre

Among the open problems in P2P systems, support for non-trivial search predicates, standardized query languages, distributed query processing, query load balancing, and quality of query results have been identified as some of the most relevant issues. This ...

Failure Location in Transparent Optical Networks: The Asymmetry Between False and Missing Alarms

Patrick Thiran, Xuan Hung Nguyen

Failure location in transparent optical networks is difficult because of the large amount of alarms that a failure can trigger and because of corrupted alarms. One problem that network operators often face is how to set the thresholds in monitoring devices ...

Lucky Read/Write Access to Robust Atomic Storage

Rachid Guerraoui, Marko Vukolic, Ron Levy

This paper establishes tight bounds on the best-case time-complexity of distributed atomic read/write storage implementations that tolerate worst-case conditions. We study asynchronous robust implementations where a writer and a set of reader processes (cl ...

The Overhead of Consensus Failure Recovery

Rachid Guerraoui, Partha Dutta

Many reliable distributed systems are consensus-based and typically operate under two modes: a fast normal mode in failure-free periods, and a slower recovery mode following failures. A lot of work has been devoted to optimizing the normal mode, but little ...
