Byzantine agreement with homonyms

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Eric Ruppert

So far, the distributed computing community has either assumed that all the processes of a distributed system have distinct identifiers or, more rarely, that the processes are anonymous and have no identifiers. These are two extremes of the same general mo ...

Image-Based Mobile Service: Automatic Text Extraction and Translation

Jérôme Berclaz

We present a new mobile service for the translation of text from images taken by consumer-grade cell-phone cameras. Such capability represents a new paradigm for users where a simple image provides the basis for a service. The ubiquity and ease of use of c ...

Cell Phones as Imaging Sensors

Sabine Süsstrunk, Joanna Marguier, Jérôme Berclaz

Camera phones are ubiquitous, and consumers have been adopting them faster than any other technology in modern history. When connected to a network, though, they are capable of more than just picture taking: Suddenly, they gain access to the power of the c ...

Mobile Cosmetics Advisor: An Imaging Based Mobile Service

Sabine Süsstrunk, Joanna Marguier

Selecting cosmetics requires visual information and often benefits from the assessments of a cosmetics expert. In this paper we present a unique mobile imaging application that enables women to use their cell phones to get immediate expert advice when sele ...

Boosting Gossip for Live Streaming

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Maxime Monod, Davide Frey

Gossip protocols are considered very effective to disseminate information in a large scale dynamic distributed system. Their inherent simplicity makes them easy to implement and deploy. However, whereas their probabilistic guarantees are often enough to di ...

Interference Alignment at Finite SNR: General Message Sets

Michael Christoph Gastpar

Interference alignment has proven to be a powerful tool in characterizing the high SNR behavior of wireless networks. Using this technique, Cadambe and Jafar showed that the sum degrees-of-freedom for the K-user interference channel is K/2 rather than 1 as ...

Mobility-Centric Geocasting For Mobile Partitioned Networks

We describe our design of a geocast service for mobile partitioned networks (MPNs). We focus mainly on minimizing the delivery latency. Our approach exploits the time-stability of the collective mobility pattern. In MPNs, in contrast to MANETs, the end-to- ...

Generic emergent overlays in arbitrary peer identifier spaces

Karl Aberer, Wojciech Galuba

Unstructured overlay networks are driven by simple protocols that are easy to analyze and implement. The lack of structure, however, leads to weak message delivery guarantees and poor scaling. Structured overlays impose a global overlay topology that is th ...

Mix-Zones for Location Privacy in Vehicular Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Mark Felegyhazi, Julien Freudiger, Maxime Raya

Vehicular Networks (VNs) seek to provide, among other applications, safer driving conditions. To do so, vehicles need to periodically broadcast safety messages providing precise position information to nearby vehicles. However, this frequent messaging (e.g ...

Evaluation of a Routing Architecture for Wireless Messaging Ad-Hoc Networks

Mark Felegyhazi, Megha Goel

The Short Messaging Service(SMS) which has become very popular in cellular networks is very highly priced. We show in this paper how self-organizing ad-hoc networks can be used to provide the short messaging service, at a much lower price. We propose a rou ...
