We take the position that large-scale distributed systems are better understood, at all levels, when locality is taken into account. When communication and mobility are clearly se...
The focus of typical architectural models is the description of large systems. Even though these systems are usually distributed, aspects of distributed systems are only addressed...
In the light of image retrieval evolving from text annotation to content-based and from standalone applications to web-based search engines, we foresee the need for deploying cont...
In this paper we introduce a framework for privacypreserving distributed computation that is practical for many real-world applications. The framework is called Peers for Privacy ...

We describe the design features that underlie the operation of iSprawl, a small (0.3 Kg) autonomous, bio-inspired hexapod that runs at 15 body-lengths/second (2.3 m/s). These featu...
