How can we efficiently find a clustering, i.e. a concise description of the cluster structure, of a given data set which contains an unknown number of clusters of different shape ...
Enabling high performance, persistent mobile computing has recently become a very active research area. The widespread popularity of mobile computing devices, such as laptops, han...
We consider a network of autonomous peers forming a logically global but physically distributed search engine, where every peer has its own local collection generated by independe...

We analyze various stochastic processes for generating permutations almost uniformly at random in distributed and parallel systems. All our protocols are simple, elegant and are b...
Cluster-based multi-tier systems provide a means for building scalable Internet services. Building adaptive Internet services that are able to apply appropriate system sizing and ...
