Random peer selection is used by numerous P2P applications; examples include application-level multicast, unstructured file sharing, and network location mapping. In most of thes...
Both peer-to-peer and sensor networks have the fundamental characteristics of node churn and failures. Peers in P2P networks are highly dynamic, whereas sensors are not dependable...
The Named Entity Recognition (NER) task has been garnering significant attention in NLP as it helps improve the performance of many natural language processing applications. In th...
Abstract Privacy has become a factor of increasing importance in auction design. We propose general techniques for cryptographic first-price and (M + 1)st-price auction protocols t...
