— We propose a new scheme for content distribution of large files that is based on network coding. With network coding, each node of the distribution network is able to generate...
Abstract— The paper investigates theoretical issues in applying the universal swarming technique to efficient content distribution. In a swarming session, a file is distributed...
Quality of service for high-bandwidth or delay-sensitive applications in the Internet, such as streaming media and online games, can be significantly improved by replicating serv...
Many applications inherently disclose information because perfect privacy protection is prohibitively expensive. RFID tags, for example, cannot be equipped with the cryptographic p...
The distributed estimation of the number of active sensors in a network can be important for estimation and organization purposes. We propose a design methodology based on the foll...
