This paper presents a unified framework for object detection, segmentation, and
classification using regions. Region features are appealing in this context because:(1) they …

In large-scale networked computing systems, component failures become norms instead of
exceptions. Failure prediction is a crucial technique for self-managing resource burdens …

Large-scale decentralized systems of autonomous agents interacting via asynchronous
communication often experience the following self-healing dilemma: fault detection inherits …

Networked computing systems continue to grow in scale and in the complexity of their
components and interactions. Component failures become norms instead of exceptions in …

Detecting node failures in mobile wireless networks is very challenging because the network
topology can be highly dynamic, the network may not be always connected, and the …

The distributed computing scenario is rapidly evolving for integrating self-organizing and
dynamic wireless networks. Unreliable failure detectors (FDs) are classical mechanisms that …

The distributed computing scenario is rapidly evolving for integrating self-organizing and

The need to monitor groups of mobile entities arises in many application contexts. Examples
include the study of the social behavior of humans and wildlife, the shepherding of livestock …

In mobile environment, nodes can move around and voluntarily leave or join the network.
Furthermore, they can crash or be disconnected from the network due to the absence of …

Failure detectors are classical mechanisms which provide information about process failures
and can help systems to cope with the high dynamics of self-organizing, unstructured and …
