An important aspect of mechanism design in social choice protocols and multiagent systems is to discourage insincere and manipulative behaviour. We examine the computational compl...
: Problem statement: For a sensor network comprising autonomous and self-organizing data sources, efficient similarity-based search for semantic-rich resources (such as video data)...
Abstract. Recent advances in P2P lookup overlays provide an appealing solution for distributed search without relying on a single database server. In addition to performing resourc...
We describe a decentralized, adaptive mechanism for replica location in wide-area distributed systems. Unlike traditional, hierarchical (e.g, DNS) and more recent (e.g., CAN, Chor...
Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) methods such as Locality Sensitive Hashing, Semantic Hashing, and Spectral Hashing, provide computationally ecient procedures for nding objects...
