—Wireless communication is particularly vulnerable to signal jamming attacks. Spread spectrum mitigates such problem by spreading normal narrowband signals over a much wider band...
Abstract—The distributed nature and large scale of MapReduce programs and systems poses two challenges in using existing profiling and debugging tools to understand MapReduce pr...
—Many publish/subscribe systems implement a policy for clients to join to their physically closest broker to minimize transmission delays incurred on the clients’ messages. How...
—Two of the fundamental problems in peer-to-peer (P2P) streaming are as follows: what is the maximum streaming rate that can be sustained for all receivers, and what peering algo...
