The indexing of complex data and similarity search plays an important role in many application areas. Traditional centralized index structure can not scale with the rapid prolifer...
In this paper, an almost peer-to-peer (AP2P) clock synchronization protocol is proposed. AP2P is almost peer-topeer in the sense that it provides the desirable features of a purel...
Structured peer-to-peer systems rely on replication as a basic means to provide fault-tolerance in presence of high churn. Most select replicas using either multiple hash functions...
