The spatial attention mechanism has been widely used to improve object detection performance. However, its operation is currently limited to static convolutions lacking content-adaptive features. This paper innovatively approaches from the…

We present robust dynamic resource allocation mechanisms to allocate application resources meeting Service Level Objectives (SLOs) agreed between cloud providers and customers. In fact, two filter-based robust controllers, i.e. H-infinity…

Blockchain consensus mechanisms have relied on algorithms such as Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) to ensure network functionality and integrity. However, these approaches struggle with adaptability for decision-making where the…

This paper designs a helper-assisted resource allocation strategy in non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-enabled mobile edge computing (MEC) systems, in order to guarantee the quality of service (QoS) of the energy/delay-sensitive user…

We study the consensus problem in a synchronous distributed system of $n$ nodes under an adaptive adversary that has a slightly outdated view of the system and can block all incoming and outgoing communication of a constant fraction of the…

A novel framework of intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-aided multiple-input single-output (MISO) non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) network is proposed, where a base station (BS) serves multiple clusters with unfixed number of users…

Consensus is one of the fundamental tasks studied in distributed computing. Processors have input values from some set $V$ and they have to decide the same value from this set. If all processors have the same input value, then they must all…

This paper defines a new consensus problem, convex consensus. Similar to vector consensus [13, 20, 19], the input at each process is a d-dimensional vector of reals (or, equivalently, a point in the d-dimensional Euclidean space). However,…

This paper studies specifications and proofs of distributed algorithms when only message history variables are used, using the Basic Paxos and Multi-Paxos algorithms for distributed consensus as precise case studies. We show that not using…

Production state-machine replication (SMR) implementations are complex, multi-layered architectures comprising data dissemination, ordering, execution, and reconfiguration components. Existing research consensus protocols rarely discuss…

Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for achieving online agile navigation with quadrotors. Despite this success, policies trained via standard RL typically fail to generalize across significant dynamic variations,…

We introduce two models of consensus following a majority rule on time-evolving stochastic block models (SBM), in which the network evolution is Markovian or non-Markovian. Under the majority rule, in each round, each agent simultaneously…

Driven by the wide adoption of deep neural networks (DNNs) across different application domains, multi-tenancy execution, where multiple DNNs are deployed simultaneously on the same hardware, has been proposed to satisfy the latency…

We focus on decentralized stochastic non-convex optimization, where $n$ agents work together to optimize a composite objective function which is a sum of a smooth term and a non-smooth convex term. To solve this problem, we propose two…

The probabilistic velocity obstacle (PVO) extends the concept of velocity obstacle (VO) to work in uncertain dynamic environments. In this paper, we show how a robust model predictive control (MPC) with PVO constraints under non-parametric…

Large language models (LLMs) achieve higher accuracy on challenging reasoning tasks by scaling test-time compute through multiple trajectory sampling. However, standard aggregation methods like majority voting or individual confidence-based…

Mass spectrometry (MS) is essential for protein analysis but faces significant challenges with large datasets and complex post-translational modifications, resulting in difficulties in spectral identification. Open Modification Search (OMS)…

Achieving low-latency consensus in geographically distributed systems remains a key challenge for blockchain and distributed database applications. To this end, there has been significant recent interest in State-Machine-Replication (SMR)…

DIMM-compatible persistent memory unites memory and storage. Prior works utilize persistent memory either by combining the filesystem with direct access on memory mapped files or by managing it as a collection of objects while abolishing…

There is no shortage of state machine replication protocols. From Generalized Paxos to EPaxos, a huge number of replication protocols have been proposed that achieve high throughput and low latency. However, these protocols all have two…
