— Many inference problems that arise in sensor networks require the computation of a global conclusion that is consistent with local information known to each node. A large class...
High-performance execution in distributed computing environments often requires careful selection and configuration not only of computers, networks, and other resources but also o...

In this paper we consider the problem of searching for a node or an object (i.e., piece of data, file, etc.) in a large network. Applications of this problem include searching fo...
Nowadays, large distributed databases are commonplace. Client applications increasingly rely on accessing objects from multiple remote hosts. The Internet itself is a huge network ...
Sequence segmentation is a central problem in the analysis of sequential and time-series data. In this paper we introduce and we study a novel variation to the segmentation proble...
