Abstract. The performance of consensus and atomic broadcast algorithms using failure detectors is often affected by a trade-off between the number of communication steps and the ...
Abstract. This paper presents a model for the probability of correct classification for the Cooperative Modular Neural Network (CMNN). The model enables the estimation of the perf...
Many applications require storing data in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). For example, in environmental monitoring applications, WSN may archive sensor data for retrieval at peri...
In this paper, we develop simple models to study the performance of BitTorrent, a second generation peer-to-peer (P2P) application. We first present a simple fluid model and stu...
This paper introduces the Axon, an Ethernet-compatible device for creating large-scale datacenter networks. Axons are inexpensive, practical devices that are demonstrated using pr...
