Advances in the Design and Implementation of Group Communication Middleware

André Schiper, Sergio Mena, Olivier Rütti, Rachele Fuzzati, Daniel Bünzli

Group communication is a programming abstraction that allows a distributed group of processes to provide a reliable service in spite of the possibility of failures within the group. The goal of the project was to improve the state of the art of group commu ...

Drug loading of porous coating

Heinrich Hofmann, Laurent-Dominique Piveteau

Porous coating for the controlled release of drugs, said coating comprising a porous structure with pores adapted to act as reservoirs or as passages for a drug, in such a way that said drug can move from the external environment to/from or through said po ...

Peer Sharing Behaviour in the eDonkey Network, and Implications for the Design of Server-less File Sharing Systems

Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Sidath Handurukande

In this paper we present an empirical study of a workload gathered by crawling the eDonkey network - a dominant peer-to-peer file sharing system - for over 50 days. We first confirm the presence of some known features, in particular the prevalence of free- ...

Trace coordinates of Teichmüller space of Riemann surfaces of signature $(0,4)$

Klaus-Dieter Semmler, Thomas Gauglhofer

Summary: We explicitly give

calT

, the Teichmüller space of four-holed spheres (which we call

X

pieces) in trace coordinates, as well as its modular group and a fundamental domain for the action of this group on

calT

which is its moduli space. As a co ...

Detecting Group Interest-level in Meetings

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Samy Bengio, Dong Zhang

Finding relevant segments in meeting recordings is important for summarization, browsing, and retrieval purposes. In this paper, we define relevance as the interest-level that meeting participants manifest as a group during the course of their interaction ...

Denial-of-service resilience in peer-to-peer file sharing systems

Willy Zwaenepoel, Dan Mihai Dumitriu

Peer-to-peer (p2p) file sharing systems are characterized by highly replicated content distributed among nodes with enormous aggregate resources for storage and communication. These properties alone are not sufficient, however, to render p2p networks immun ...

The SWARM-BOTS project

Dario Floreano, Francesco Mondada, Roderich Gross, Jean-Louis Deneubourg, Luca Maria Gambardella

This paper provides an overview of the SWARM-BOTS project, a robotic project sponsored by the Future and Emerging Technologies program of the European Community (IST-2000-31010). The paper illustrates the robot hardware, and the results of experimental wor ...

Endeavors in synthetically oriented organometallic chemistry

Giuseppe Mangano

This thesis work aimed to show the potentialities of the organometallic approach and, in particular, the organoalkali one, in Organic Synthesis (whose possibilities cannot be underestimated). A wide opening on the big landscape of possibilities has been re ...

Extremum feedback with partial knowledge

Jörg Widmer

A scalable feedback mechanism to solicit feedback from a potentially very large group of networked nodes is an important building block for many network protocols. Multicast transport protocols use it for negative acknowledgements and for delay and packet ...
