Convergence Speed of Binary Interval Consensus

This paper considers the speed of convergence of an instance of the binary interval consensus, a distributed and decentralized algorithm for computing the quantized average value. With binary consensus problem, each node initially holds one of two states and the goal for each node is to correctly decide which one...

Joint Source-Channel With Side Information Coding Error Exponents

This paper studies the upper and the lower bounds on the joint source-channel coding error exponent with decoder side-information. The results in the paper are non-trivial extensions of the Csiszar's classical paper. Unlike the joint source-channel coding result, it is not obvious whether the lower bound and the upper bound...

On the Rate Distortion Function of Bernoulli Gaussian Sequences

This paper studies the rate distortion function of the i.i.d sequence of multiplications of a Bernoulli p random variable and a gaussian random variable ~ N (0,1). The paper uses a new technique in the derivation of the lower bound in which they establish the duality between channel coding and...

Better Bounds for Online Load Balancing on Unrelated Machines

This paper studies the problem of scheduling permanent jobs on un-related machines when the objective is to minimize the Lp norm of the machine loads. The problem is known as load balancing under the Lp norm. It presents an improved upper bound for the greedy algorithm through simple analysis; this...

Combinatorics of TCP Reordering

This paper studies a combinatorial problem motivated by a receiver-oriented model of TCP traffic from, that incorporates information on both arrival times, and the dynamics of packet IDs. It shows that given a buffer sequence B, constructing a sequence A of IDs that belongs to the preimage of B is...

Efficiency Centric Communication Model for Wireless Sensor Networks

Recent studies on radio reality provided strong evidence that radio links between low-power sensor devices are extremely unreliable. This paper studies how to improve energy efficiency for reliable communication using such unreliable links. The paper identifies an optimal bound on energy efficiency for reliable communication, and proposes a new communication...

Computers have speed limit as unbreakable as speed of light, say physicists

A pair of physicists have shown that if processors continue to accelerate in accordance to Moore's Law, we'll hit the wall of faster processing in roughly 75 years. The curtain will eventually come down for silicon in today's manufacturing methods once engineers can no longer further shrink...
