• 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 ...
    • 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 ...
