In this paper we produce complexity and impossibility results and develop algorithms for a task allocation problem that needs to be solved by a group of autonomous agents working ...
Abstract—In this paper, we propose a distributed key management framework based on group signature to provision privacy in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). Distributed key man...
—A hybrid protocol for application level multicast (HPAM) for live video streaming without native IP multicast support is proposed. HPAM exploits the simplicity and optimality of...
The paper describes a metaobject architecture for distributed fault tolerant systems. Basically metaobject protocols enables functional objects to be independent from meta-function...
Abstract. The success of Internet telephony services like Skype illustrates the feasibility of utilizing unstructured Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks as an economical platform for supp...
