Abstract-- We consider problems where multiple agents cooperate to control their individual state so as to optimize a common objective while communicating with each other to exchan...
Publish/subscribe systems provide an efficient, event-based, wide-area distributed communications infrastructure. Large scale publish/subscribe systems are likely to employ compon...
Abstract. In many rate control models, a uniform weighted distortion has been assumed; that is, the DCT coefficients of the motioncompensation difference frames (residues) conform...
Abstract. For large distributed systems built from inexpensive components, one expects to see incessant failures. This paper proposes two models for such faults and analyzes two we...
Privacy, preservation and performance (“3 P’s”) are central design objectives for distributed data management systems. However, these objectives tend to compete with one ano...
