Most common network protocols (e.g., the Internet Protocol) work with variable size packets, whereas contemporary switches still operate with fixed size cells, which are easier t...
In this paper, we propose a formal notion of network security for ad hoc networks. We adopt a probabilistic security framework, that is, security is defined by a polynomially bou...
The fundamental drawback of unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) networks is the flooding-based query processing protocol that seriously limits their scalability. As a result, a signi...
good data partitioning scheme is the need of the time. However it is very diflcult to arrive at a good solution as the number of possible dutupartitionsfor a given real lifeprogra...
In recent years, content-based image retrieval has become more and more important in many application areas. Similarity retrieval is inherently a very demanding process, in partic...
