Abstract— The objective of the paper is to provide qualitative insight into the global effects of distributed mechanisms, such as carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) and rate co...
Given a metric space (X, dX), c ≥ 1, r > 0, and p, q ∈ [0, 1], a distribution over mappings H : X → N is called a (r, cr, p, q)-sensitive hash family if any two points in...
Human-to-human interaction across distributed applications requires that sufficient consistency be maintained among participants in the face of network characteristics such as lat...

Tree-based reliable multicast protocols provide scalability by distributing error-recovery tasks among several repair nodes. These repair nodes keep in their buffers all packets t...
In multi-agent systems where sets of joint actions (JAs) are generated, metrics are needed to evaluate these sets and efficiently allocate resources for the many JAs. For the case...
