— Accurately estimating end-to-end performance in distributed systems is essential both for monitoring compliance with service-level agreements (SLAs) and for performance optimiz...
Classification is an important problem in the field of data mining. Construction of good classifiers is computationally intensive and offers plenty of scope for parallelization. D...
The present paper shows how vertical actuation alone may be used to effectively control the spatial distribution of mobile vehicles ("balloons" in air, or "drifters&...
We consider pervasive computing applications that process and aggregate data-streams emanating from highly distributed data sources to produce a stream of updates that have an imp...
We consider the problem of fault-tolerant agreement in a crash-prone synchronous system. We present a new randomized consensus algorithm that achieves optimal communication effici...
