Percolation, in its most general interpretation, refers to the “flow” of something (a physical agent, data or information) in a network, possibly accompanied by some nonlinear dynamical processes on the network nodes (sometimes denoted reaction–diffusion s ...
Online services are becoming more and more ubiquitous and keep growing in scale. At the same time, they are required to be highly available, secure, energy-efficient, and to achieve high performance. To ensure these (and many other) properties, replication ...
Byzantine reliable broadcast is a powerful primitive that allows a set of processes to agree on a message from a designated sender, even if some processes (including the sender) are Byzantine. Existing broadcast protocols for this setting scale poorly, as ...

In the Dial-a-Ride-Problem (DARP) a fleet of vehicles provides shared-ride services to users specifying their origin, destination, and preferred arrival time. Typically, the problem consists of finding minimum cost routes, satisfying operational constraint ...
This thesis aims at demonstrating a novel technique for the characterization of interfaces obtained by a CMOS-compatible Surface Activated Bonding (SAB) process between silicon wafers. This enables the optimization of the two main components of monolithic ...
The goal of this paper is to introduce CMOS-based single-photon detectors in terms of technology and applications. We cover background and recent progress on the detectors and describe emerging applications based on the technology. ...
A family of subsets of {1, ... , n} is called intersecting if any two of its sets intersect. A classical result in extremal combinatorics due to Erdos, Ko and Rado determines the maximum size of an intersecting family of k-subsets of {1, ... , n}. In this ...
In our daily lives, people or devices frequently need to learn their location for many reasons as some services depend on the absolute location or the proximity. The outcomes of positioning systems can have critical effects e.g., on military, emergency. Th ...
Over recent years, many large network datasets become available, giving rise to novel and valuable applications of data mining and machine learning techniques. These datasets include social networks, the structure of the Internet, and protein-interaction n ...
