The unsupervised nature of cluster analysis means that objects can be clustered in many different ways. This means that different clustering algorithms can lead to vastly different...
This paper describes simulations designed to test the relative efficiency of two different sequential auction mechanisms for allocating compute resources between users in a shared...
We evaluate the anonymity provided by two popular email mix implementations, Mixmaster and Reliable, and compare their effectiveness through the use of simulations which model th...
Volunteer distributed computations utilize spare processor cycles of personal computers that are connected to the Internet. The resulting platforms provide computational power pre...
