Multi-agent planning in stochastic environments can be framed formally as a decentralized Markov decision problem. Many real-life distributed problems that arise in manufacturing,...
Existing distributed hash tables provide efficient mechanisms for storing and retrieving a data item based on an exact key, but are unsuitable when the search key is similar, but ...
Response time is a key factor of any e-Commerce application, and a set of solutions have been proposed to provide low response time despite network congestions or failures. Being ...
—The poor performance of TCP over multi-hop wireless networks is well known. In this paper we explore to what extent network coding can help to improve the throughput performance...
In this paper we present an architecture and prototype implementation for discovering key network characteristics, such as hosts, gateways, and topology. The Fremont system uses a...
