The IEEE 802.16/WiMAX standards has fully embraced multi-antenna technology and can, thus, deliver robust performance and high transmission rates. Nevertheless, due to its inheren...

We describe a decentralized, adaptive mechanism for replica location in wide-area distributed systems. Unlike traditional, hierarchical (e.g, DNS) and more recent (e.g., CAN, Chor...
In this paper, we present a family of adaptive protocols, called SPIN (Sensor Protocols for Information via Negotiation), that efficiently disseminate information among sensors in ...

We review the application of statistical mechanics methods to the study of online learning of a drifting concept in the limit of large systems. The model where a feed-forward netwo...
Distributed systems require strategies to detect and recover from failures. Many protocols for distributed systems employ a strategy based on leases, which grant a leaseholder acc...
