Distributed storage systems suffer from significant repair traffic generated due to frequent storage node failures. This paper shows that properly designed low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes can substantially reduce the amount of…
We consider distributed online learning protocols that control the exchange of information between local learners in a round-based learning scenario. The learning performance of such a protocol is intuitively optimal if approximately the…
The fundamental limits of communication over state-dependent discrete memoryless channels with noiseless feedback are studied, under the assumption that the communicating parties are allowed to use variable-length coding schemes. Various…
Self-stabilizing protocols enable distributed systems to recover correct behavior starting from any arbitrary configuration. In particular, when processors communicate by message passing, fake messages may be placed in communication links…
This paper investigates the fundamental information-theoretic limits for the control and sensing of noiseless linear dynamical systems subject to a broad class of nonlinear observations. We analyze the interactions between the control and…
The problem of securing data against eavesdropping in distributed storage systems is studied. The focus is on systems that use linear codes and implement exact repair to recover from node failures.The maximum file size that can be stored…
In this work we address the question of efficiency of distributed computing in anonymous, congested and highly dynamic and not-always-connected networks/systems. More precisely, the system consists of an unknown number of anonymous nodes…
Oblivious routing has a long history in both the theory and practice of networking. In this work we initiate the formal study of oblivious routing in the context of reconfigurable networks, a new architecture that has recently come to the…
The rapid increase in data traffic demand has overloaded existing cellular networks. Planned upgrades in the communication architecture (e.g. LTE), while helpful, are not expected to suffice to keep up with demand. As a result, extensive…
Classic dynamic data structure problems maintain a data structure subject to a sequence S of updates and they answer queries using the latest version of the data structure, i.e., the data structure after processing the whole sequence. To…
This paper investigates information-theoretic oblivious transfer via a discrete memoryless broadcast channel with one sender and two receivers. We analyze both non-colluding and colluding honest-but-curious user models and establish general…
Repair operations in distributed storage systems potentially expose the data to malicious acts of passive eavesdroppers or active adversaries, which can be detrimental to the security of the system. This paper presents erasure codes and…
This work investigates the fundamental limits of implementing network oblivious transfer via noisy multiple access channels and broadcast channels between honest-but-curious parties when the parties have access to general tripartite…
Quantum network is the key to enable distributed quantum information processing. As the single-link communication rate decays exponentially with the distance, to enable reliable end-to-end quantum communication, the number of nodes needs to…
Accessing the data in the failed disk (degraded read) with low latency is crucial for an erasure-coded storage system. In this work, the maximum distance separable (MDS) array code with the property of degraded-read friendly (DRF) is…
Regenerating codes are efficient methods for distributed storage in storage networks, where node failures are common. They guarantee low cost data reconstruction and repair through accessing only a predefined number of arbitrarily chosen…
Erasure coding techniques are getting integrated in networked distributed storage systems as a way to provide fault-tolerance at the cost of less storage overhead than traditional replication. Redundancy is maintained over time through…
Fast and efficient failure recovery is a new challenge for cloud storage systems with a large number of storage nodes. A pivotal recovery metric upon the failure of a storage node is repair bandwidth cost which refers to the amount of data…
One of the primary objectives of a distributed storage system is to reliably store large amounts of source data for long durations using a large number $N$ of unreliable storage nodes, each with $c$ bits of storage capacity. Storage nodes…
Erasure codes are increasingly being studied in the context of implementing atomic memory objects in large scale asynchronous distributed storage systems. When compared with the traditional replication based schemes, erasure codes have the…
