Conditional Value-at-Risk, denoted as CVaRα, is becoming the prevailing measure of risk over two paramount economic domains: the insurance domain and the financial domain

We consider strategic games in which each player seeks a mixed strategy to minimize her cost evaluated by a concave valuation V (mapping probability distributions to reals)

We consider a special case of weighted congestion games with player-specific latency functions where each player uses for each particular resource a fixed (non-decreasing) delay function together with a player-specific ...

Consider an information network with harmful procedures called attackers (e.g., viruses)

We study the partially eponymous model of distributed computation, which simultaneously generalizes the anonymous and the eponymous models. In this model, processors have identities, which are neither necessarily all ...

Consider an information network with threats called attackers

We compare the impact of timing conditions on implementing sequentially consistent and linearizable counters using (uniform) counting networks in distributed systems. For counting problems in application domains which do ...

Methods from game theory and mechanism design have been proven to be a powerful mathematical tool in order to understand, control, and efficiently design dynamic, complex networks, such as the Internet. Game theory provides ...

The s-session problem is studied in asynchronous and semi-synchronous shared-memory systems, under a particular shared-memory communication primitive-b-atomic registers-where b > 1 is an integer reflecting the communication ...

This paper addresses the question of whether Algebraic Topology is really necessary for determining the characterization of solvable tasks for the case of general t. A Combinatorial Topology framework, totally bypassing ...
