The existence of a central security authority is too restrictive for pervasive computing environments. Existing distributed security schemes fail in a pervasive computing environm...
Abstract— The current approach in web searching, i.e., centralized search engines, rises issues that question their future applicability: 1) coverage and scalability, 2) freshnes...
In this paper, the problem of scalable video delivery over a timevarying wireless channel is considered. Packet scheduling and buffer management in both Application and Medium Acc...

A methodology for complexity scalable video encoding and complexity control within the framework of the H.264/AVC video encoder is presented. To yield good rate-distortion perform...
We consider decentralized control of Markov decision processes and give complexity bounds on the worst-case running time for algorithms that find optimal solutions. Generalization...
