There is generally no a priori trust relationship among entities interacting in pervasive computing environments which makes it necessary to establish trust from scratch. This tas...
We present a WLAN location determination technique, the Joint Clustering technique, that uses (1) signal strength probability distributions to address the noisy wireless channel, ...
In this paper we investigate experimentally the performance of Marginal Cost (MC) and Shapley Value (SH) mechanisms for sharing the cost of multicast transmissions. We implement a...
This paper proposes to utilize algorithms from the probabilistic graphical models domain for Peer-to-Peer rating of data items and for computing “social influence” of nodes i...
The security-mediated approach to PKI offers several advantages, such as instant revocation and compatibility with standard RSA tools. In this paper, we present a design and protot...
