As the technology enters the nano dimension, the inherent unreliability of nanoelectronics is making fault-tolerant architectures increasingly necessary in building nano systems. ...
In this paper we present the Threshold Join Algorithm (TJA), which is an efficient TOP-k query processing algorithm for distributed sensor networks. The objective of a top-k query...
We study an approach to policy selection for large relational Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). We consider a variant of approximate policy iteration (API) that replaces the usual...
— Overlay-based multicast has been proposed as a key alternative for large-scale group communication. There is ample motivation for such an approach, as it delivers the scalabili...
