Peer-to-peer (P2P) storage systems rely on data redundancy to obtain high levels of data availability. Among the existing data redundancy schemes, erasure coding is a widely adopte...
Gossips is a modular client/server based system monitor. It uses distributed monitoring tasks to define and report states of an IT-environment. A monitoring task includes probes t...
We model the performance of a speaker recognition system used for surveillance to prioritize a large number of candidate speakers in search of a single target speaker. It is assum...
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are widely used in stochastic optimization. Impressive experimental results have been reported in the literature. However, little work ...
In this paper we present the first implementation of a P2P content distribution system that uses Network Coding. Using results from live trials with several hundred nodes, we pro...
