- 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...

- Capacity Theorems for Cooperative Relay Broadcast Channels
- The partially cooperative Relay Broadcast Channel RBC is studied in this paper, where a source transmits to two users, and one user also acts as a relay node to assist broadcast communication. The source has common information intended for both users and private information for each user. Inner and outer...

- Edge-Cut Bounds on Network Coding Rates
- Active networks are network architectures with processors that are capable of executing code carried by the packets passing through them. A critical network management concern is the optimization of such networks and tight bounds on their performance serve as useful design benchmarks. A new bound on communication rates is developed...

- Performance Bounds in OFDM Channel Prediction
- OFDM channel prediction algorithms have been proposed to combat feedback delay in adaptive OFDM systems. However, no simple closed-form expression that relates prediction Mean-Square Error MSE with the design parameters in OFDM channel prediction has been reported in the literature. This paper attempts to fill that gap by deriving simple...

- On the Erasure Recoverability of MDS Codes Under Concurrent Updates
- This paper considers a fault-tolerant distributed storage system that protects data on k disks using a systematic linear (n, k) MDS code. In such a system, updates to data blocks require corresponding updates to check blocks. Concurrent fault-prone access by multiple writers can drive the system into an inconsistent state...

- Have we all become a bunch of anxious, depressed, sleep-deprived irritable stress-heads?
- Let's face it, the last month or so has been a challenge for just about anyone's tolerance of stress and has made even the most "stable" of us question our own emotional and mental health. But I've discovered that IT workers in particular, or anyone who...
