— In this paper, scalable collaborative human-robot systems for information gathering applications are approached as a decentralized Bayesian sensor network problem. Humancompute...
— Human-robot interaction (HRI) is now well enough understood to allow us to build useful systems that can function outside of the laboratory. We are studying longterm interactio...
To maintain consistency, designers of replicated services have traditionally been forced to choose from either strong consistency guarantees or none at all. Realizing that a conti...
—Structured Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems are highly scalable, self-organizing, and support efficient lookups. Furthermore, Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs), due to their features, a...
We investigate performance bounds of P2P systems by application of the law of bandwidth conservation. This approach is quite general and allows us to consider various sharing syst...
