The indexing of complex data and similarity search plays an important role in many application areas. Traditional centralized index structure can not scale with the rapid prolifer...
Abstract— We consider the problem of providing QoS guarantees to Grid users through advance reservation of resources. Advance reservation mechanisms provide the ability to alloca...

The cooperation of end users can be exploited to boost the performance of high-bandwidth multicast. While intraoverlay cooperation, the mechanism for cooperation within a single o...
Network line cards are experiencing ever increasing line rates, random data bursts, and limited space. Hence, they are more vulnerable than other processormemory environments, to ...
We explore the computational power of networks of small resource-limited mobile agents. We define two new models of computation based on pairwise interactions of finite-state ag...
