This paper presents the first probabilistic Byzantine Agreement algorithm whose communication and time complexities are poly-logarithmic. So far, the most effective probabilistic Byzantine Agreement algorithm had communication complexity and time complexit ...
In this paper we deal with the critical node problem (CNP), i.e., the problem of searching for a given number K of nodes in a graph G, whose removal minimizes the (weighted or unweighted) number of connections between pairs of nodes in the residual graph. ...
Communication complexity---the minimum amount of communication required---of computing a function of data held by several parties is studied. A communication model where silence is used to convey information is introduced. For this model the worst-case and ...
One of the key trends in computing over the past two decades has been increased distribution, both at the processor level, where multi-core architectures are now the norm, and at the system level, where many key services are currently distributed overmulti ...
Aguilera et al. and Malkhi et al. presented two system models, which are weaker than all previously proposed models where the eventual leader election oracle Omega can be implemented, and thus, consensus can also be solved. The former model assumes unicast ...
We consider a blind calibration problem in a compressed sensing measurement system in which each sensor introduces an unknown phase shift to be determined. We show that this problem can be approached similarly to the problem of phase retrieval from quadrat ...
We consider the problem of computing an aggregation function in a \emph{secure} and \emph{scalable} way. Whereas previous distributed solutions with similar security guarantees have a communication cost of O(n3), we present a distributed protocol that r ...
In this thesis, we address different aspects of the airline scheduling problem. The main difficulty in this field lies in the combinatorial complexity of the problems. Furthermore, as airline schedules are often faced with perturbations called disruptions ...
We show how to express an arbitrary integer interval I=[0,H] as a sumset I=∑i=1ℓGi∗[0,u−1]+[0,H′] of smaller integer intervals for some small values ℓ, u, and H′<u−1, where b∗A={ba:a∈A} and $A + B = ...
This paper considers the problem of robustly emulating a shared atomic memory over a distributed message passing system where processes can fail by crashing and possibly recover. We revisit the notion of atomicity in the crash-recovery context and introduc ...
