This paper exploits a previously developed analytical modeling framework to compare several variations of the basic flooding search strategy in unstructured decentralized peer-to...
Recent advances in computing and communication have given rise to the computational grid notion. The core of this computing paradigm is the design of a system for drawing compute ...
Abstract. A number of recently proposed mobile sensor network architectures rely on uncontrolled, or weakly-controlled mobility to achieve sensing coverage over time at low cost, a...

We are concerned with the availability of systems, defined as the ratio between time of correct functioning and uptime. We propose to model guaranteed availability in terms of regu...
We introduce a new method that characterizes typical local image features (e.g., SIFT [9], phase feature [3]) in terms of their distinctiveness, detectability, and robustness to i...
