In recent years, overlay networks have proven an effective way of disseminating a file from a single source to a group of end users via the Internet. A number of algorithms and protocols have been suggested, implemented and studied. In particular, much att ...
We present DRIFT --- a total order multicast algorithm for ad hoc networks with mobile or static nodes. Due to the ad hoc nature of the network, DRIFT uses flooding for message propagation. The key idea of DRIFT is virtual flooding --- a way of using unrel ...
The gradual transformation of a mushy zone during alloy solidification, from a continuous liquid film network to a fully coherent solid, has been simulated using a granular model. Based on a Voronoi tessellation of a random set of nucleation centers, solid ...
Large-scale networked systems often, both by design or chance exhibit self-organizing properties. Understanding self-organization using tools from cybernetics, particularly modeling them as Markov processes is a first step towards a formal framework which ...
Gnutella is still one of the most popular P2P systems with millions of users. The advantages of Gnutella are its low maintenance overhead, its excellent robustness properties, and its query processing flexibility. Recent improvements, such as the introduct ...
Structured P2P systems based on distributed hash tables are a popular choice for building large-scaled data management systems. Generally, they only support exact match queries, but data heterogeneities often demand for more complex query types, particular ...
Large-scale distributed data management with P2P systems requires the existence of similarity operators for queries as we cannot assume that all users will agree on exactly the same schema and value representations and data quality problems due to spelling ...
In recent years, overlay networks have proven a popular way of disseminating potentially large files from a single server S to a potentially large group of N end users via the Internet. A number of algorithms and protocols have been suggested, implemented ...
Virtual private network design in the hose model deals with the reservation of capacities in a weighted graph such that the terminals in this network can communicate with one another. Each terminal is equipped with an upper bound on the amount of traffic t ...
This paper presents GosSkip, a self organizing and fully distributed overlay that provides a scalable support to data storage and retrieval in dynamic environments. The structure of GosSkip, while initially possibly chaotic, eventually matches a perfect se ...
