Temporal locality in workloads creates conditions in which a server, in order to remain available, should quickly process bursts of requests with large service requirements. In th...
We propose peer swapping as a means to improve the throughput of structured-overlay-based peer-to-peer (P2P) streaming systems. In many P2P streaming systems, an overlay is increm...
We address the problem of reasoning with instances of heterogeneously formalized ontologies. Given a set of semantic mappings, reconciling conceptual and instance level heterogenei...
