An ever increasing amount of valuable information is stored in Web databases, "hidden" behind search interfaces. To save the user's effort in manually exploring eac...
—Characterizing user churn has become an important topic in studying P2P networks, both in theoretical analysis and system design. Recent work [26] has shown that direct sampling...
— In this paper, we propose a simple but effective VPN mechanism called RING-VPN (Ring-based Virtual Private Network) that realizes a high scalability in terms of the number of V...
We analyze the problem of storing contextual information across a set of distributed heterogeneous mobile devices. These devices form a Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) interconnected...
