This paper discusses and compares several policies to place replicas in tree networks, subject to server capacity and QoS constraints. The client requests are known beforehand, wh...
Abstract— Many emerging applications for peer to peer overlays may require nodes to satisfy strict timing deadlines to access a replica of a given object. This includes multimedi...
Information dissemination is a fundamental and frequently occuring problem in large, dynamic, distributed systems. We propose a novel approach to this problem, interest-aware info...
— We explore motion planning for a new class of highly flexible bevel-tip medical needles that can be steered to previously unreachable targets in soft tissue. Planning for thes...
