This paper proposes CADRE (Collaborative Allocation and Deallocation of Replicas with Efficiency), which is a dynamic replication scheme for improving the typically low data avail...
The routing in communication networks is typically a multicriteria decision making (MCDM) problem. However, setting the parameters of most used MCDM methods to fit the preferences ...
— Future success towards 3G and beyond systems is in supporting a variety of multimedia services with diverse quality-of-service (QoS) demands. With their inherent broadcast capa...
Current P2P systems employ tit-for-tat strategies, where peers only upload when they are simultaneously downloading, to avoid free riding. We derive optimal tit-for-tat strategies...
