We introduce a new model for distributed algorithms designed for large scale systems that need a low-overhead solution to allow the processes to communicate with each other. We as...
— Always-on applications, such as push email and voice-over-IP, are characterized by the need to be constantly reachable for incoming communications. In the presence of stateful ...
As distributed surveillance networks are deployed over larger areas and in increasingly busy environments, limiting the computation, bandwidth, and human attention burdens imposed...
Powerful mobile devices with minimal I/O capabilities increase the likelihood that we will want to annex these devices to I/O resources we encounter in the local environment. This...

Structured peer-to-peer overlay networks have recently emerged as good candidate infrastructure for building novel large-scale and robust Internet applications in which participat...
