This paper connects two fundamental ideas from theoretical computer science: hard-core set construction, a type of hardness amplification from computational complexity, and boosti...
This paper presents the design, development and evaluation of a prototype peer-to-peer collaboratory for imaging, analyzing, and seamlessly sharing tissue microarrays (TMA), corre...
Load balancing is a critical issue for the efficient operation of peerto-peer networks. We give two new load-balancing protocols whose provable performance guarantees are within a...
A multi-object operation incurs communication or synchronization overhead when the requested objects are distributed over different nodes. The object pair correlations (the probab...
To use their pool of resources efficiently, distributed stream-processing systems push query operators to nodes within the network. Currently, these operators, ranging from simple...
