Peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks such as BitTorrent and Avalanche are increasingly used for disseminating potentially large files from a server to many end users via the Internet. The key idea is to divide the file into many equally-sized parts and then ...
We present a simple randomized algorithmic framework for connected facility location problems. The basic idea is as follows: We run a black-box approximation algorithm for the unconnected facility location problem, randomly sample the clients, and open the ...
Self-organized networks such as mobile ad-hoc, Internet-based peer-to-peer, wireless mesh and Fourth Generation (4G) Wireless networks depend on cooperation of nodes. Reputation systems help nodes decide with whom to cooperate and which nodes to avoid. The ...
In the last three decades the management of information technologies has become a major issue in most organizations. In this context, virtual communities (VC), as a means to technologically foster collective social exchanges, are often proposed as viable s ...
The aim of this study is to develop coatings on polymer substrates with a combined increase in oxygen barrier performance and toughness, based on SiOx coatings modified with multifunctional organo-silane polymers of controlled polarity and reactivity. As a ...
Autonomic control managers can remove the need for manual system configuration in order to achieve good performance and efficient resource utilization. However, simple controllers based on reconfiguration actions tied to thresholds, or 'if-then' rules, the ...
The paper presents a method to determine hysteresis losses in synchronous permanent magnet (M) slotless motors. The method comprises four steps: (1) experimental determination of the B-H loop, () analytical modeling of the B-H loop by applying different mo ...

Low-frequency (LF) noise under cyclo-stationary excitation has received considerable attention recently. Until now, only semiempirical models for cyclo-stationary random telegraph signal (RTS) and flicker noise have been reported in the literature. In this ...
