Monitoring and management operations that query nodes based on their availability can be extremely useful in a variety of largescale distributed systems containing hundreds to thou...
Peer-to-peer (P2P) storage systems rely on data redundancy to obtain high levels of data availability. Among the existing data redundancy schemes, erasure coding is a widely adopte...
Redundancy is the basic technique to provide reliability in storage systems consisting of multiple components. A redundancy scheme defines how the redundant data are produced and...
This paper presents a 3D face photography system based on a small set of training facial range images. The training set is composed by 2D texture and 3D range images (i.e. geometr...
