Unet and its variations have been standard in semantic image segmentation, especially for computer assisted radiology. Current Unet architectures iteratively downsample spatial resolution while increasing channel dimensions to preserve…
This paper addresses cooperative link scheduling problems for base station (BS) aided device-to-device (D2D) communications using limited channel state information (CSI) at BS. We first derive the analytical form of ergodic sum-spectral…
This paper proposes a random network model for blockchains, a distributed hierarchical data structure of blocks that has found several applications in various industries. The model is parametric on two probability distribution functions…
We report an approach to obtaining complex networks with diverse topology, here called syntonets, taking into account the consonances and dissonances between notes as defined by scale temperaments. Though the fundamental frequency is…
Sharing a common clock signal among the nodes is crucial for communication in synchronized networks. This work presents a heartbeat-based synchronization scheme for body-worn nodes. The principles of this coordination technique combined…
Prototyping and implementing distributed algorithms, particularly those that address challenges related with fault-tolerance and dependability, is a time consuming task. This is, in part, due to the need of addressing low level aspects such…
As ByteDance's business expands, the substantial infrastructure expenses associated with centralized Content Delivery Network (CDN) networks have rendered content distribution costs prohibitively high. In response, we embarked on exploring…
We present LUNES, an agent-based Large Unstructured NEtwork Simulator, which allows to simulate complex networks composed of a high number of nodes. LUNES is modular, since it splits the three phases of network topology creation, protocol…
We focus on range query processing on large-scale, typically distributed infrastructures, such as clouds of thousands of nodes of shared-datacenters, of p2p distributed overlays, etc. In such distributed environments, efficient range query…
The peer-to-peer (P2P) network of blockchain used to transport its transactions and blocks has a high impact on the efficiency and security of the system. The P2P network topologies of popular blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum,…
A widely used approach to clustering a single data stream is the two-phased approach in which the online phase creates and maintains micro-clusters while the off-line phase generates the macro-clustering from the micro-clusters. We use this…
The Ethereum network, built on the devp2p protocol stack, was designed to function as a "world computer" by supporting decentralized applications through a shared P2P infrastructure. However, the proliferation of blockchain forks has…
In real acoustic environment, speech enhancement is an arduous task to improve the quality and intelligibility of speech interfered by background noise and reverberation. Over the past years, deep learning has shown great potential on…
We present SymNet, a network static analysis tool based on symbolic execution. SymNet quickly analyzes networks by injecting symbolic packets and tracing their path through the network. Our key novelty is SEFL, a language we designed for…
Management of network resources in advanced IoT applications is a challenging topic due to their distributed nature from the Edge to the Cloud, and the heavy demand of real-time data from many sources to take action in the deployment.…
In this work we discuss the utilization of micro-satellite constellations as effective infrastructures for the communication among ground stations or even among 'smart' devices in IoT scenarios. We design and implement a series of…
Thanks to the great progress in mobile and wireless technologies, Internet-distributed applications like P2P file sharing are nowadays deployed over MANET (i.e., P2P mobile systems). These applications allow users to search and share…
This paper presents a framework for the study of convergence when the nodes' dynamics may be both piecewise smooth and/or nonidentical across the network. Specifically, we derive sufficient conditions for global convergence of all node…
Networked Music Performance (NMP) constitutes a class of ultra-low delay sensitive applications, allowing geographically separate musicians to perform seamlessly as a tele-orchestra. For this application type, the QoS indicator is the…
This paper describes an architecture design process for Networked Music Performance (NMP) platform for medium-sized conducted music ensembles, based on remote rehearsals of Academic Choir of Gdansk University of Technology. The issues of…
