Reliable multicast is useful for replication and in support of publish-subscribe notification. However, many of the most interesting applications give rise to huge numbers of multicast groups with heavily overlapping sets of receivers, large groups, or high rates of dynamism. Existing multicast systems scale poorly in one or more of these respects. This paper describes QuickSilver Scalable Mult...

My research area is probability theory. Most of my research has been in random walks in random environments (RWRE), but I am also interested in other non-classical random walks (such as excited random walks) and other stochastic processes (in particular interacting particle systems). Below, I will highlight some of my previous research results and also mention a few areas where I plan to do som...

ion in AI Planning: Abstraction is a commonly employed technique, especially in large scale model checking and planning, that attempts to improve efficiency by abstracting away non-critical details of the problem at hand and thus reducing the size of the raw search space. Can abstraction methods really achieve much benefit in AI planning systems? While this empirically does seem to be the case ...

Medical records of 1407 cats with dermatologic diagnoses made at Cornell University teaching hospital from 1988 to 2003 were tabulated. We expressed the diagnoses as counts, percentages of the cats with dermatologic disease (1407) and percentages of all cats seen at the university hospital (22,135) during the same period. A total of 1887 diagnoses were made in the 1407 cats. We compared the age...
