Firewalls/NATs have brought significant connectivity problems along with their benefits, causing many applications to break or become inefficient. Due to its bi-directional commun...
Detection and diagnosis of faults in a large-scale distributed system is a formidable task. Interest in monitoring and using traces of user requests for fault detection has been o...
Recognition of specular objects is particularly difficult because their appearance is much more sensitive to lighting changes than that of Lambertian objects. We consider an appr...
In this study, we demonstrate the effectiveness of using extended light sources for modeling the appearance of an object for varying illumination. Extended light sources have a ra...
Large-scale and dynamically changing distributed systems such as the Grid, peer-to-peer overlays, etc., need to collect several kinds of global statistics in a decentralized manne...
