This paper is concerned with reducing communication costs when executing distributed user tasks in a sensor network. We take a service-oriented abstraction of sensor networks, whe...
— Multipath routing (MPR) is an effective strategy to achieve robustness, load balancing, congestion reduction, and increased throughput in computer networks. Disjoint multipath ...
Numerical examples of a Braess-like paradox in which adding capacity to a distributed computer system may degrade the performance of all users in the system have been reported. Un...
The problem of building a regression tree is considered when the response variable is a probability density function. Splitting criteria which are well adapted to measure the diss...
With the increasing use of web services, many new challenges concerning data security are becoming critical. Data or applications can now be outsourced to powerful remote servers, ...
