An explicit slice-based mode type selection scheme for use in H.264/AVC has recently been developed, which preserves the coding efficiency of H.264/AVC without requiring any modif...
Load balancing is a critical issue for the efficient operation of peerto-peer networks. We give two new load-balancing protocols whose provable performance guarantees are within a...
Many techniques have been proposed to scale web applications. However, the data interdependencies between the database queries and transactions issued by the applications limit th...
Abstract. Gossip-based information dissemination protocols are considered easy to deploy, scalable and resilient to network dynamics. Loadbalancing is inherent in these protocols a...
Traditionally, techniques for computing on encrypted data have been proposed with privacy preserving applications in mind. Several current cryptosystems support a homomorphic oper...
