In this paper we propose a distributed approach to construct vicinity resource maps at each node in a delaytolerant network. The scheme uses recent encounters to estimate the avail...
Location-based services (LBS) are currently receiving world-wide attention as a consequence of the massive usage of mobile devices, but such location services require scalable dis...
Abstract. Data centric languages, such as recursive rule based languages, have been proposed to program distributed applications over networks. They simplify greatly the code, whic...
Semantic Web data exhibits very skewed frequency distributions among terms. Efficient large-scale distributed reasoning methods should maintain load-balance in the face of such hi...
Chord is a protocol to distribute and retrieve information at large scale. It builds a large but rigid overlay network without taking into account the social nature and the underl...
