In this paper we use game theory to study nodes’ behavior in peer-to-peer networks when nodes receive service based on their reputation. Reputation is used as a mechanism to inc...
— The Distributed Spanning Tree (DST) is an overlay structure designed to be scalable. It supports the growth from small scale to large scale. The DST is a tree without bottlenec...
: Accurate reconstruction of phylogenetic trees very often involves solving hard optimization problems, particularly the maximum parsimony (MP) and maximum likelihood (ML) problems...

Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software products are increasingly used as software components in large-scale systems. We had proposed an approach for distributed COTS software int...
: We discuss a group protocol which supports applications with group communication service when QoS supported by networks or required by applications is changed. An autonomic group...
We present a novel Delay-Energy Aware Routing Protocol (DEAP) for for heterogeneous sensor and actor networks. DEAP enable a wide range of tradoffs between delay and energy consum...
Unsolicited bulk electronic mail (spam) is increasingly plaguing the Internet Email system and deteriorating its value as a convenient communication tools. In this paper we argue ...
Recently, there have been proposals for scaling-up a database system using lazy replication. In these proposals, system scale-up is achieved through the addition of secondary site...
Low energy consumptions are extremely important in real-time embedded systems, and scheduling is one of the techniques used to obtain lower energy consumptions. In this paper, we ...
