The dynamic behavior of a network in which information is changing continuously over time requires robust and efficient mechanisms for keeping nodes updated about new information. ...
Peer-To-Peer (P2P) networks like Gnutella improve some shortcomings of Conventional Search Engines (CSE) such as centralized and outdated indexing by distributing the search engin...
In contrast to a large body of theoretical work on computer systems, distributed systems are not idealised constructions, unconstrained by physical world limitations. They must be...
David tries not to use unfamiliar trains and buses, he doesn’t travel to places he doesn’t know, and he doesn’t travel in unusual environments without a companion. David is v...
Abstract— Motivated by applications to sensor, peer-topeer and ad hoc networks, we study distributed asynchronous algorithms, also known as gossip algorithms, for computation and...
