The proliferation of applications that must reliably distribute bulk data to a large number of
autonomous clients motivates the design of new multicast and broadcast protocols. We …

Many cryptocurrencies have come into existence in recent years, with Bitcoin the most
prominent among them. Although its short history has been volatile, the virtual currency …

In this paper we present a parallel formulation of a multilevel k-way graph partitioning
algorithm. The multilevel k-way partitioning algorithm reduces the size of the graph by …

The proliferation of applications that must reliably distribute large, rich content to a vast
number of autonomous receivers motivates the design of new multicast and broadcast …

The emergence of powerful portable computers, along with advances in wireless
communication technologies, has made mobile computing a reality. Among the applications …

The increasing ability to interconnect computers through internet-working, wireless
networks, high-bandwidth satellite, and cable networks has spawned a new class of …

Broadcast is becoming an increasingly attractive data-dissemination method for large client
populations. In order to effectively utilize a broadcast medium for such a service, it is …

Push technology stems from a vel-y simple idea. Rather than requiring USCIS to explicitly
request (ie,“pull”) the information that they need, data can be sent to users without having …

With the increasing popularity of portable wireless computers, mechanisms to efficiently
transmit information to wireless clients are of significant interest. The environment under …

Mirror sites enable client requests to be serviced by any of a number of servers, reducing
load at individual servers and dispersing network load. Typically, a client requests service …
