Many applications inherently disclose information because perfect privacy protection is prohibitively expensive. RFID tags, for example, cannot be equipped with the cryptographic p...
Novel real-time applications require highperformance real-time distributed systems, and therefore high-performance real-time networks. We examine a Hard Real-Time Distributed Mult...
Can a system of distributed moderation quickly and consistently separate high and low quality comments in an online conversation? Analysis of the site Slashdot.org suggests that t...
Recently, Bloom filters have been widely used in distributed systems where they are replicated to process distributed queries. Bloom filter replicas become stale in a dynamic en...
