In traditional overlay multicast network, all peers are treated as equal regardless of their importance and contribution to the network. In this paper, we consider that each user ...
Due to the structural heterogeneity of XML, queries are often interpreted approximately. This is achieved by relaxing the query and ranking the results based on their relevance to ...
Most sensor network applications require quality of service guarantees on a network-wide basis, suggesting the need for global network cost optimization. The dynamic and nonunifor...
Abstract—In this paper, we implement and evaluate three different Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (BFT) state machine replication protocols for data centers: (1) BASIC: The classic solu...
This paper proposes a new randomized strategy for adaptive MCMC using Bayesian optimization. This approach applies to nondifferentiable objective functions and trades off explor...
