Many stateful services use the replicated state machine approach for high availability. In this approach, a service runs on multiple machines to survive machine failures. This pap...

Data service is the principle application in structured P2P networks. And in many cases, we need the data to persist for a long time. So how to persist the data service and how lo...
This paper presents Contory, a middleware specifically deployed to support provisioning of context information on mobile devices such as smart phones. Contory integrates multiple...
Tiny, low-cost sensor devices are expected to be failure-prone and hence in many realistic deployment scenarios for sensor networks these nodes are deployed in higher than necessa...
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to model shape variations. It encodes sparsity, exploits geometric redundancy, and accounts for the different degrees of local variation...
