—Distance estimation and topological proximity in the Internet have recently emerged as important problems for many distributed applications [1], [10], [11], [19], [29], [31], [4...
Replicating data objects onto servers across a system can alleviate access delays. The selection of data objects and servers requires solving a constraint optimization problem, wh...
Abstract. We introduce a new cryptographic problem called time capsule signature. Time capsule signature is a ‘future signature’ that becomes valid from a specific future time...
Large scale networked image retrieval systems face a number of problems that are not fully satis ed by current systems. On one hand, integrated solutions that store all image data...
Commercial applications such as databases and Web servers constitute the largest and fastest-growing segment of the market for multiprocessor servers. Ongoing innovations in disk ...
