Markov logic networks (MLNs) use firstorder formulas to define features of Markov networks. Current MLN structure learners can only learn short clauses (4-5 literals) due to extre...
Distributed hash table (DHT) networks based on consistent hashing functions have an inherent load balancing problem. The problem becomes more severe due to the heterogeneity of ne...
Non-adaptive group testing involves grouping arbitrary subsets of n items into different pools. Each pool is then tested and defective items are identified. A fundamental question...
Time synchronization is necessary in many distributed systems, but achieving synchronization in sensornets, which combine stringent precision requirements with severe resource con...
