Altruism, reciprocity, and tokens to reward forwarding data: Is that fair?

Verónica del Carmen Estrada Galiñanes, Arman Babaei

Decentralized storage networks offer services with intriguing possibilities to reduce inequalities in an extremely centralized market. Fair distribution of rewards, however, is still a persistent problem in the current generation of decentralized applicati ...

Global, Passive Detection of Connection Tampering

Louis-Henri Manuel Jakob Merino

In-network devices around the world monitor and tamper with connections for many reasons, including intrusion prevention, combating spam or phishing, and country-level censorship. Connection tampering seeks to block access to specific domain names or keywo ...

Fair Incentivization of Bandwidth Sharing in Decentralized Storage Networks

Verónica del Carmen Estrada Galiñanes

Peer-to-peer (p2p) networks are not independent of their peers, and the network efficiency depends on peers contributing resources. Because shared resources are not free, this contribution must be rewarded. Peers across the network may share computation po ...

Policy-based Exploration of Equilibrium Representations (PEER): A topology grammar for generative conceptual structural design

Ioannis Mirtsopoulos

Design exploration is a creative process that consists of the incremental generation of design candidates. Supported by digital means or not, the process handles the ill-structured nature of design and allows creativity to flourish through diversity of des ...

An automatized signal timing detection at signalized intersections with detailed vehicle trajectory data

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Emmanouil Barmpounakis, Jasso Espadaler Clapés

Signalized intersections are a fundamental part of urban networks. Their understanding is crucial to identify congestion patterns, queues, delays, and safety issues in local and network level. In this work, we analyze multimodal vehicle trajectories and pr ...
