Existing work has been focused on minimizing the number of relay nodes to maintain the connectivity of a sensor network. However, we believe replacing batteries for nodes or redepl...
We present Gatekeeper, a decentralized protocol that performs Sybil-resilient node admission control based on a social network. Gatekeeper can admit most honest nodes while limiti...
Combining multiple global models (e.g. back-propagation based neural networks) is an effective technique for improving classification accuracy by reducing a variance through manipu...
In the context of the Semantic Web or semantic peer to peer systems, many ontologies may exist and be developed independently. Ontology alignments help integrating, mediating or re...
Byzantine fault tolerant systems behave correctly when no more than f out of 3f + 1 replicas fail. When there are more than f failures, traditional BFT protocols make no guarantee...
