Strict consistency of replicated data is infeasible or not required by many distributed applications, so current systems often permit stale replication, in which cached copies of ...
The paper considers the consensus problem in a partially synchronous system with Byzantine faults. It turns out that, in the partially synchronous system, all deterministic algorit...
Fuzzy logic is a natural basis for modelling and solving problems involving imprecise knowledge and continuous systems. Unfortunately, fuzzy logic systems are invariably static (o...
Uncertain data arises in a number of domains, including data integration and sensor networks. Top-k queries that rank results according to some user-defined score are an important...
1 The unstructured Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems usually use a “blind search” method to find the requested data object by propagating a query to a number of peers randomly. In or...
