Abstract - Overlay multicast, which performs topology construction and data relaying in the application layer, has recently emerged as a promising vehicle for data distribution. In...
In recent years we have witnessed a great interest in large distributed computing platforms, also known as clouds. While these systems offer enormous computing power, they are howe...
In this paper, we present methods for supporting autonomous updates in replicated databases. Autonomous updates are of particular importance to applications that cannot tolerate t...

In this paper, we present a new multi-packing tree (MP-tree) representation for macro placement to handle mixed-size designs. Based on binary trees, the MP-tree is very efficient,...
Abstract. In this paper we investigate methods for analyzing the expected value of adding information in distributed task scheduling problems. As scheduling problems are NP-complet...
