It has been widely observed that search queries are composed in a very different style from that of the body or the title of a document. Many techniques explicitly accounting for...
This paper presents a probing-based method for probabilistic localization in automated robotic assembly. We consider peg-in-hole problems in which a needle-like peg has a single p...
The study in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) is facing challenges brought by recent discovery of non-exponential behavior of the inter-contact time distribution of mobile nodes. In...
This paper addresses design exploration for protocols that are employed in systems with availability-consistency tradeoffs. Distributed data is modelled as states of objects repl...
Many distributed systems can be modeled as network games: a collection of selfish players that communicate in order to maximize their individual utilities. The performance of such ...
