—P2P (peer-to-peer) technology has proved itself an efficient and cost-effective solution to support large-scale multimedia streaming. Different from traditional P2P application...
Dynamic networks, e.g. Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), call for adaptive protocols that can tolerate topological changes due to nodes’ mobility and depletion of battery power. ...

Communication delay is a key source of uncertainty in distributed systems. Existing approaches to reduce this uncertainty focus on maintaining sufficient surplus bandwidth; appli...
According to the current trend of increasing variations in process technologies and thus in performance, the conservative worst-case design will not work since design margins can ...
