  • IELE: An Intermediate-Level Blockchain Language Designed and Implemented Using Formal Semantics 
    Kasampalis, Theodoros; Guth, Dwight; Moore, Brandon; Serbanuta, Traian; Serbanuta, Virgil; Filaretti, Daniele; Roşu, Grigore; Johnson, Ralph (2018-07-25)
    Most languages are given an informal semantics until they are implemented, so the formal semantics comes later. Consequently, there are usually inconsistencies among the informal semantics, the implementation, and the ...

  • A Network Congestion control Protocol (NCP) 
    Kassa, Debessay Fesehaye; Nahrstedt, Klara; Caesar, Matthew (2010-07-11)
    The transmission control protocol (TCP) which is the dominant congestion control protocol at the transport layer is proved to have many performance problems with the growth of the Internet. TCP for instance results in ...

  • Reducing Training Time with More Data - a Review 
    Brando Miranda, Michael Wu and He Sun (2015-05-14)
    In most machine learning problems, we tend to think that training algorithms require more computation time as the number of training samples increases. In this paper we discuss two contexts in which this is not true. In ...
