— Many inference problems that arise in sensor networks require the computation of a global conclusion that is consistent with local information known to each node. A large class...
This paper addresses the problem of distributed resource allocation in general fork and join processing networks. The problem is motivated by the complicated processing requiremen...

Distributed data management systems consist of peers that store, exchange and process data in order to collaboratively achieve a common goal, such as evaluate some query. We study...
Abstract The paper provides a condition for differentiability as well as an equivalent criterion for Lipschitz continuity of singular normal distributions. Such distributions are o...
—We consider resource allocation for distributed streaming applications running in a grid environment, where continuously streaming data needs to be aggregated and processed to p...
