Given an undirected hypergraph and a subset of vertices S V with a specified root vertex r S, the STEINER ROOTED-ORIENTATION problem is to find an orientation of all the hypered...
When designing distributed web services, there are three properties that are commonly desired: consistency, availability, and partition tolerance. It is impossible to achieve all ...
In this paper we introduce Social VPNs, a novel system architecture which leverages existing social networking infrastructures to enable ad-hoc VPNs which are self-configuring, s...
