Excerpts from a talk given by Tomaso Poggio in Tübingen on the opening ofthe Werner Reichardt Centrun für Integrative Neurowissenschaften, December 8, 2008.
Comparison of User Traffic Characteristics on Mobile-Access versus Fixed-Access Networks
(2011-05-03)
We compare Web traffic characteristics of mobile- versus fixed-access end-hosts, where herein the term "mobile" refers to access via cell towers, using for example the 3G/UMTS standard, and the term "fixed" includes Wi-Fi ...
Library Cache Coherence
(2011-05-02)
Directory-based cache coherence is a popular mechanism for chip multiprocessors and multicores. The directory protocol, however, requires multicast for invalidation messages and the collection of acknowledgement messages, ...

(2011-04-14)
Partial Reversal (PR) is a link reversal algorithm which ensures that the underlying graph structure is destination-oriented and acyclic. These properties of PR make it useful in routing protocols and algorithms for solving ...
Mechanism Design with Approximate Valuations
(2011-02-16)
In mechanism design, we replace the strong assumption that each player knows his own payoff type EXACTLY with the more realistic assumption that he knows it only APPROXIMATELY. Specifically, we study the classical problem ...
