A File Location, Replication, and Distribution System for Network Information to Aid Network Management
(2010-09-22)
This thesis demonstrates and evaluates the design, architecture, and implementation of a file location, replication, and distribution system built with the objective of managing information in an Internet network. The ...
Bayesian perceptual inference in linear Gaussian models
(2010-09-21)
The aim of this paper is to provide perceptual scientists with a quantitative framework for modeling a variety of common perceptual behaviors, and to unify various perceptual inference tasks by exposing their common ...
Learning Solutions of Similar Linear Programming Problems using Boosting Trees
(2010-09-18)
In many optimization problems, similar linear programming (LP) problems occur in the nodes of the branch and bound trees that are used to solve integer (mixed or pure, deterministic or stochastic) programming problems. ...
Practical Color-Based Motion Capture
(2010-09-10)
Motion capture systems have been widely used for high quality content creation and virtual reality but are rarely used in consumer applications due to their price and setup cost. In this paper, we propose a motion capture ...
Audit Trails in the Aeolus Distributed Security Platform
(2010-09-29)
This thesis provides a complete design and implementation of audit trail collection and storage for Aeolus, a distributed security platform based on information flow control. An information flow control system regulates ...
Conservative-Bayesian Mechanisms
(2010-09-08)
We put forward a new class of mechanisms. In this extended abstract, we exemplify our approach only for single-good auctions in what we call a conservative-Bayesian setting. (Essentially, no common-knowledge about the ...
Decomposing Broadcast Algorithms Using Abstract MAC Layers
(2011-02-23)
In much of the theoretical literature on global broadcast algorithms for wireless networks, issues of message dissemination are considered together with issues of contention management. This combination leads to complicated ...
BOOM: Broadcast Optimizations for On-chip Meshes
(2011-03-14)
Future many-core chips will require an on-chip network that can support broadcasts and multicasts at good power-performance. A vanilla on-chip network would send multiple unicast packets for each broadcast packet, resulting ...
Fleets: Scalable Services in a Factored Operating System
(2011-03-09)
Current monolithic operating systems are designed for uniprocessor systems, and their architecture reflects this. The rise of multicore and cloud computing is drastically changing the tradeoffs in operating system design. ...
Remote Oblivious Storage: Making Oblivious RAM Practical
(2011-03-30)
Remote storage of data has become an increasingly attractive and advantageous option, especially due to cloud systems. While encryption protects the data, it does not hide the access pattern to the data. A natural solution ...
