We present an inherently discriminative approach to face recognition. This is achieved by automatically selecting key points from lines that sketch the face and extracting textural...
The efficiency of a communication network depends not only on its control protocols, but also on its topology. We propose a distributed topology management algorithm that construc...
Many emerging applications in both wired and wireless networks, such as information dissemination and distributed collaboration in an adversarial environment, need support of secu...
The increasing ubiquity of mobile devices has led to an explosion in the development of applications tailored to the particular needs of individual users. As the research communit...
A quorum system is a collection of sets (quorums) every two of which intersect. Quorum systems have been used for many applications in the area of distributed systems, including mu...
