Applying meta search systems is a suitable method to support the user if there are many different services. Due to information splitting strategies of literature services existing ...
The adaptation of software technology to distributed environments is an important challenge today. In this work we combine parallel and distributed search. By this way we add the ...
This paper considers the design of efficient quantizers for a distributed source coding system. The information is encoded at independent terminals and transmitted across separate...
—Collecting information about user activity in peer-to-peer systems is a key but challenging task. We describe here a distributed platform for doing so on the eDonkey network, re...
