In distributed and mobile systems with volatile bandwidth and fragile connectivity, non-functional aspects like performance and reliability become more and more important. To forma...
While extensive work has been done on evaluating queries over tuple-independent probabilistic databases, query evaluation over correlated data has received much less attention eve...
This paper develops analytic models that characterize the behavior of on-demand stored media content delivery using BitTorrent-like protocols. The models capture the effects of di...
