In this paper we present a method of parsing unstructured textual records briefly describing a person and their direct relatives, which we use in the construction of a browsing t...
Byzantine agreement algorithms typically assume implicit initial state consistency and synchronization among the correct nodes and then operate in coordinated rounds of informatio...
A pervasive requirement of distributed systems is to deal with churn — change in the set of participating nodes due to joins, graceful leaves, and failures. A high churn rate ca...
In this paper, we investigate the suitability of embedding Internet hosts into a Euclidean space given their pairwise distances (as measured by round-trip time). Using the classic...
We consider a system with two service classes with heterogeneous traffic characteristics and Quality-of-Service requirements. The available bandwidth is shared between the two tra...
