Understanding the formation of galaxies and studying the expansion of the Universe, need the spectral characterization of faint astronomical objects such as stars or galaxies. From these spectra, the distance, the velocity and the chemical composition of t ...
State-machine replication (SMR) is a software technique for tolerating failures and for providing high availability in large-scale systems, through the use of commodity hardware. A replicated state-machine comprises a number of replicas, each of which runs ...
Finding theoretical limits on the performance of communication systems and designing schemes to achieve them is one of the fundamental questions in information theory. While the theory of point-to-point communication is well-investigated, most problems hav ...
We consider the problem of multicasting information from a source to a set of receivers over a network where interme- diate network nodes perform randomized linear network coding operations on the source packets. We propose a channel model for the noncoher ...
