Peer-to-peer systems promise inexpensive scalability, adaptability, and robustness. Thus,
they are an attractive platform for file sharing, distributed wikis, and search engines. These …

Gossip (or Epidemic) protocols have emerged as a communication and computation
paradigm for large-scale networked systems. These protocols are based on randomised …

Monitoring in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) constitutes a crucial service, as it enables
the adaptation to the changing conditions in those networks based on the monitored state …

Gossip-based epidemic protocols are used to aggregate data in distributed systems. This
fault-tolerant approach does neither require maintenance of any global network state nor …

As distributed systems are getting more and more complex, search facilities for finding
services and data within the system become crucial. Users expect search engines to deal …

We consider standard T-interval dynamic networks, under the synchronous timing model
and the broadcast CONGEST model. In a T-interval dynamic network, the set of nodes is …

Efficient estimation of global information is a common requirement for many wireless sensor
network applications. Examples include counting the number of nodes alive in the network …

There has been an immense popularity increase of mobile communication devices, such as
smartphones and tablet PCs, due to the technical progress in equipment manufacturing and …

The complexities and costs associated with preserving the nation's bridge infrastructure
demand innovative approaches to analysis of data and prediction of future bridge …

Peer-to-peer (P2P) technology has already been established in several application
domains, eg, IP telephony, file sharing, and content distribution. It is considered to be …
