Fault-tolerant (FT) distributed protocols (such as group membership, consensus, etc.) represent fundamental building blocks for many practical systems, e.g., the Google File System...
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) raise new challenges in designing protocols for solving the consensus problem. Among the others, how to design message efficient protocols so as to...
The multipass-rendering method integrating radiosity with ray-tracing gives one of the best solutions for synthesizing photo-realistic images. However, the method is also computat...
Event detection is a critical task in sensor networks, especially for environmental monitoring applications. Traditional solutions to event detection are based on analyzing one-sh...
Composability, the capability to select and assemble offthe-shelf model components in various combinations to satisfy user requirements, is an appealing approach in reducing the t...
