Recent work on BitTorrent swarms has demonstrated that a bandwidth bottleneck at the seed can lead to the underutilization of the aggregate swarm capacity. Bandwidth underutilizat...
In this paper, we focus on the problem of secure multicast in dynamic groups. In this problem, a group of users communicate using a shared key. Due to the dynamic nature of these ...
Abstract— We present a distributed scheme for trust inference in peer-to-peer networks. Our work is in context of the NICE system, which is a platform for implementing cooperativ...
Coping with mobility and dynamism is one of the biggest challenges in ad hoc networks. An essential requirement for such networks is a service that can establish communication ses...
We describe a dynamic partitioning scheme usable by model checking techniques that divide the state space into partitions, such as most external memory and distributed model checki...
