Peer-to-peer systems are gaining popularity as a means to effectively share huge, massively distributed data collections. In this paper, we consider XML peers, that is, peers that ...
: A reliable multicast algorithm, called RMA, for mobile ad hoc networks is presented that is based on a new cost criterion, called link lifetime, for determining the optimal path ...
Application-level multicast (ALM) is being increasingly recognized as a solution to support multipoint applications without the need for a network layer multicast protocol. Though...
The construction of multicast trees is complicated by the need to balance a number of important objectives, including: minimizing latencies, minimizing depth/hops, and bounding th...
Large-scale distributed data management with P2P systems requires the existence of similarity operators for queries as we cannot assume that all users will agree on exactly the sa...
