Gemini: Elastic SNARKs for Diverse Environments

Alessandro Chiesa

We introduce a new class of succinct arguments, that we call elastic. Elastic SNARKs allow the prover to allocate different resources (such as memory and time) depending on the execution environment and the statement to prove. The resulting output is indep ...

Fair Incentivization of Bandwidth Sharing in Decentralized Storage Networks

Verónica del Carmen Estrada Galiñanes

Peer-to-peer (p2p) networks are not independent of their peers, and the network efficiency depends on peers contributing resources. Because shared resources are not free, this contribution must be rewarded. Peers across the network may share computation po ...

Toward Mobile Distributed Ledgers

Boi Faltings, Sujit Prakash Gujar, Dimitrios Chatzopoulos, Anurag Jain

Advances in mobile computing have paved the way for new types of distributed applications that can be executed solely by mobile devices on Device-to-Device (D2D) ecosystems (e.g., crowdsensing). Sophisticated applications, like cryptocurrencies, need distr ...

Recommendation on Live-Streaming Platforms: Dynamic Availability and Repeat Consumption

Karl Aberer, Jérémie Rappaz

Live-streaming platforms broadcast user-generated video in real-time. Recommendation on these platforms shares similarities with traditional settings, such as a large volume of heterogeneous content and highly skewed interaction distributions. However, sev ...

The Metabolic Regimes at the Scale of an Entire Stream Network Unveiled Through Sensor Data and Machine Learning

Enrico Bertuzzo, Tom Ian Battin, Pier Luigi Segatto

Streams and rivers form dense networks that drain the terrestrial landscape and are relevant for biodiversity dynamics, ecosystem functioning, and transport and transformation of carbon. Yet, resolving in both space and time gross primary production (GPP), ...

Modeling of Stream Metabolism from Reach-scale to the Scale of Entire River Networks

Pier Luigi Segatto

Streams are key components of the global carbon (C) cycle. The river network conceptualization moved from the pipelineâ idea, in which C is solely transported, to the active ecosystemâ concept, in which both terrestrial derived and autochthonous C ...

Resource Management for Power-Constrained HEVC Transcoding Using Reinforcement Learning

David Atienza Alonso, Marina Zapater Sancho, Arman Iranfar, Luis Maria Costero Valero

The advent of online video streaming services along with the users' demand for high-quality contents require High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), which provides higher quality and compression at the cost of increased complexity. On one hand, HEVC exposes a ...

An Explicit Construction of Optimal Streaming Codes for Channels With Burst and Arbitrary Erasures

Damian Dudzicz

This paper presents a new construction of error correcting codes which achieves optimal recovery of a streaming source over a packet erasure channel. The channel model considered is the sliding-window erasure model, with burst and arbitrary losses, introdu ...

The One-Way Communication Complexity of Submodular Maximization with Applications to Streaming and Robustness

Rico Zenklusen, Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Ashkan Norouzi Fard, Moran Feldman

We consider the classical problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to a cardinality constraint, which, due to its numerous applications, has recently been studied in various computational models. We consider a clean multi-player model t ...
