Rational and selfish nodes in P2P systems usually lack effective incentives to cooperate, contributing to the increase of free-riders, and degrading the system performance. Variou...
To deal with the problem of empty or too little answers returned from a Web database in response to a user query, this paper proposes a novel approach to provide relevant and rank...
We describe Spectra, a remote execution system for batterypowered clients used in pervasive computing. Spectra enables applications to combine the mobility of small devices with t...
The design of autonomic systems often relies on representative benchmarks for evaluating system performance and scalability. Despite the fact that experimental observations have e...
Wireless sensor networks operating on limited energy resources need to be power efficient to extend the system lifetime. This is especially challenging for video sensor networks d...
