Modern scientific computing involves organizing, moving, visualizing, and analyzing massive amounts of data from around the world, as well as employing largescale computation. The...
Abstract-- In peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, reputation aggregation and peer ranking are the most time-consuming and spacedemanding operations. This paper proposes a gossip-based rep...
Aggregate traffic loads and topology in multi-hop wireless networks may vary slowly, permitting MAC protocols to `learn' how to spatially coordinate and adapt contention patte...
