Signatures detect changes to the data objects. Numerous schemes a known, e.g., the popular hash based SHA-1 standard. We propose a nov scheme we call algebraic signatures. We use ...
— This work focuses on a class of distributed storage systems whose content may evolve over time. Each component or node of the storage system is mobile and the set of all nodes ...
— We consider a scenario where a wireless sensor network is formed by randomly deploying n sensors to measure some spatial function over a field, with the objective of computing...
Software distributed shared memory (DSM) improves the programmability of message-passing machines and workclusters by providing a shared memory abstract (i.e., a coherent global a...
We examine a class of collective coin- ipping games that arises from randomized distributed algorithms with halting failures. In these games, a sequence of local coin ips is gener...
