We introduce a new abstract system, called the truth system. In the truth system, a process deduces a true value, with high probability, from an incoming stream of both true and fa...
We consider how to efficiently allocate computing resources in order to infer the best of a finite set of simulated systems, where best means that the system has the maximal expec...
Streaming data models have been shown to be useful in many applications requiring high-performance data exchange. Application-level overlay networks are a natural way to realize t...

In this paper, we address the new problem of protecting volunteer computing systems from malicious volunteers who submit erroneous results by presenting sabotagetolerance mechanis...
This paper introduces the notion of a Wearable Community as a group of wearable users who cooperate for their mutual benefit. In such a community, wearable computers act as person...
