In hierarchical distributed systems, shared data access can be controlled by assigning user groups single cryptographic keys that allow high level users derive low level keys, but...
We study the design of structured Tanner codes with low error-rate floors on the AWGN channel. The design technique involves the "doping" of standard LDPC (proto-)graphs,...
—Authority flow and proximity search have been used extensively in measuring the association between entities in data graphs, ranging from the Web to relational and XML database...
While extensive work has been done on evaluating queries over tuple-independent probabilistic databases, query evaluation over correlated data has received much less attention eve...
In this paper we investigate distributed computation in dynamic networks in which the network topology changes from round to round. We consider a worst-case model in which the com...
