• Design and Evaluation of Parallel Coded Systems 

      Badita, Ajay Kumar
      In this computer era, we all live in a place where the demand for data and computing is increasing day by day. Since the need for faster data retrieval and faster computation brings us a reliability as the solution, we ...
    • Differential Encoding for Real-Time Status Updates 

      Bhambay, Sanidhay
      We consider the problem of status updates of a physical process over an unreliable channel. In this setting, one may not be able to reliably transmit the current state at all times. Instead, one is interested in the ...
    • Empirical Studies of Load Generation for Data Center Networks 

      Bizar, Bidhov
      Data center networks form the backbone for modern Internet giants like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Amazon. Such networks consist of a layer of a large number of storage and compute servers connected through two or ...
    • Minimizing latency in data acquisition, distributed processing, storage and retrieval 

      Jinan, Rooji
      Achieving low latency is of utmost importance in applications demanding real-time sensing and control as in cyber-physical systems. In this thesis, we explore three different facets of ensuring low latency in such systems. ...
    • Optimal Redundancy in Distributed Systems for Latency and Repair 

      Saraswathy, RM
      Distributed systems are employed in many modern storage and computing architecture for greater reliability and cost-efficiency. There are several important considerations in the design and implementation of such distributed ...
    • Real-Time Status Updates Over Erasure Channels 

      Bobbili, Sarat Chandra
      Real-time decision making relies on the availability of accurate data and, as such, delivering status updates in a timely fashion is of paramount importance. In this thesis, we first look at the interplay between average ...
