Broadcasting is a commonly used feature in wireless networking, e.g. for file distribution, re-tasking, event notification, or miscellaneous maintenance. Due to the limited resourc...
We present a clustering technique addressing redundancy for bounded-distance clusters, which means being able to determine the minimum number of cluster-heads per node, and the ma...
Some safety-critical distributed embedded systems may need to use centralized components to achieve certain dependability properties. The difficulty in combining centralized and d...
To construct high performance Web servers, system builders are increasingly turning to distributed designs. An important challenge that arises in such designs is the need to direc...

This paper describes a decentralized peer-to-peer model for building a Web crawler. Most of the current systems use a centralized client-server model, in which the crawl is done by...
Automatic text classification is an important operational problem in digital library practice. Most text classification efforts so far concentrated on developing centralized solut...
