We define some interesting incentive issues that arise in the management of virtual infrastructures. We demonstrate that participants’ decisions about the quantities of infrast...
Abstract— We consider the lossy transmission of source information over Rayleigh fading channels. We investigate the utility of two channel capacity definitions, ergodic capacit...
It is well-known that live multimedia streaming applications operate more efficiently when organized in peer-to-peer (P2P) topologies, since peer upload capacities are utilized t...
We extend a torus-based coterie structure for distributed mutual exclusion to allow k multiple entries in a critical section. In the original coterie, the system nodes are logical...
Most protocols for distributed, fault-tolerant computation, or multi-party computation (MPC), provide security guarantees in an all-or-nothing fashion: If the number of corrupted p...
