Over the Internet today, computing and communications environments are significantly more
complex and chaotic than classical distributed systems, lacking any centralized organization …

'Network'is a heavily overloaded term, so that 'network analysis' means different things to
different people. Specific forms of network analysis are used in the study of diverse …

We live in a “small world,” where two arbitrary people are likely connected by a short chain
of intermediate friends. With scant information about a target individual, people can …

Abstract The JUNG (Java Universal Network/Graph) Framework is a free, open-source
software library that provides a common and extendible language for the manipulation …

Abstract Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) are very efficient distributed systems for routing, but
at the same time vulnerable to disruptive nodes. Designers of such systems want them used …

Today an application developer using a distributed hash table (DHT) with n nodes must
choose a DHT protocol from the spectrum between O (1) lookup protocols [9, 18] and O (log …

The success of the P2P idea has created a huge diversity of approaches, among which
overlay networks, for example, Gnutella, Kazaa, Chord, Pastry, Tapestry, P-Grid, or DKS …

Though names reference actual entities it is nontrivial to resolve which entity a particular
name observation represents. Even when names are devoid of typographical error, the …

In this paper, we investigate the use of limited infrastructure, in the form of wires, for
improving the energy efficiency of a wireless sensor network. We call such a sensor network …

The availability of cheaper, faster, and more reliable electronic components has stimulated
important advances in computing and communication technologies. Theoretical and …
