Inspired by recent algorithms for electing a leader in a distributed system, we study the following game in a directed graph: each vertex selects one of its outgoing arcs (if any)...
—In this paper, a quality-of-service driven routing protocol is proposed for wireless cooperative networks. The key contribution of the proposed protocol is to bring the performa...
We study information elicitation mechanisms in which a principal agent attempts to elicit the private information of other agents using a carefully selected payment scheme based o...
Traditionally, collaborative filtering (CF) algorithms used for recommendation operate on complete knowledge. This makes these algorithms hard to employ in a decentralized contex...
Scientific database federations are geographically distributed and network bound. Thus, they could benefit from proxy caching. However, existing caching techniques are not suitabl...
