Managing trust is a problem of particular importance in peer-to-peer environments where one frequently encounters unknown agents. Existing methods for trust management, that are b...
Developing Data Grids has increasingly become a major concern to make Grids attractive for a wide range of data-intensive applications. Storage subsystems are most likely to be a ...
We consider a stochastic model for distributed average consensus, which arises in applications such as load balancing for parallel processors, distributed coordination of mobile a...
A mechanism for efficient mean-shift belief propagation (MSBP) is introduced. The novelty of our work is to use mean-shift to perform nonparametric mode-seeking on belief surfaces...
We propose a strategy to decompose a polygon, containing zero or more holes, into “approximately convex” pieces. For many applications, the approximately convex components of ...
