This paper considers the eventual leader election problem in asynchronous message-passing systems where an arbitrary number t of processes can crash (t < n, where n is the tota...
In this paper we consider the weighted, capacitated vertex cover problem with hard capacities (capVC). Here, we are given an undirected graph G = (V, E), non-negative vertex weigh...
— Most of the currently deployed multicast protocols (e.g. DVMRP, PIM, MOSPF) build one shortest path multicast tree per sender, the tree being rooted at the sender’s subnetwor...
—Distributed systems without trusted identities are particularly vulnerable to sybil attacks, where an adversary creates multiple bogus identities to compromise the running of th...
A novel description of protein structure in terms of the generalized secondary structure elements (GSSE) is proposed. GSSE's are defined as fragments of the protein structure...
