In this paper, we investigate the roles of replication vs. repair to achieve durability in large-scale distributed storage systems. Specifically, we address the fundamental questio...
We propose using the proximity distribution of vectorquantized local feature descriptors for object and category recognition. To this end, we introduce a novel "proximity dis...
In this paper, we review two existing static load balancing schemes based on M/M/1 queues. We then use these schemes to propose two dynamic load balancing schemes for multi-user (...
