Abstract—We propose probabilistic location to enhance the performance of existing peer-to-peer location mechanisms in the case where a replica for the queried data item exists cl...
We describe a decentralized, adaptive mechanism for replica location in wide-area distributed systems. Unlike traditional, hierarchical (e.g, DNS) and more recent (e.g., CAN, Chor...
Simulated, false location reports can be an effective way to confuse a privacy attacker. When a mobile user must transmit his or her location to a central server, these location re...
Point-to-point transmissions represent a fundamental primitive in any communication network. Despite many proave appeared in the literature, providing an efficient implementation ...
Abstract Climbing robots that climb flat structures using suction cups or magnets are commonly described in the literature. However, robots that can autonomously find randomly plac...
