In 2006, John Mellor-Crummey and Michael Scott received the Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing. This prize was for their 1991 paper on algorithms for scalable synchronization ...
In this paper, we propose a novel method for the automatic segmentation of a foreground layer from a natural scene in real time by fusing infrared, color and edge information. Thi...
The Networked Distributed POMDPs (ND-POMDPs) can model multiagent systems in uncertain domains and has begun to scale-up the number of agents. However, prior work in ND-POMDPs has ...
— While multicast has been studied extensively in many domains such as content streaming and file sharing, there is little research applying it to synchronous collaborations invo...
This paper addresses initial ranging (uplink synchronization and power control) for TDD OFDMA systems. Exploiting the channel knowledge from the downlink channel together with ini...
