We present a low-cost, decentralized algorithm for ID management in distributed hash tables (DHTs) managed by a dynamic set of hosts. Each host is assigned an ID in the unit inter...
Agents collaborating on a set of tasks subject to temporal constraints must coordinate their activities to ensure that all of the temporal constraints are ultimately satisfied. S...
We describe a general technique for converting an online algorithm B to a truthtelling mechanism. We require that the original online competitive algorithm has certain "nicen...
—This paper investigates the problem of incremental detection of errors in distributed data. Given a distributed database D, a set Σ of conditional functional dependencies (CFDs...
The task of multi-camera surveillance is to reconstruct the paths taken by all moving objects that are temporarily visible from multiple non-overlapping cameras. We present a Baye...
