The stochastic root-finding problem (SRFP) is that of solving a system of q equations in q unknowns using only an oracle that provides estimates of the function values. This paper...
Abstract—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 t...
Due to the prevalence of peer dynamics (i.e., churn), object maintenance becomes a fundamental issue in peer-to-peer storage systems. Although quite a few prototypes have been des...
