Community networks (CNs) have seen an increase in the last fifteen years. Their members contact nodes which operate Internet proxies, web servers, user file storage and video streaming services, to name a few. Detecting communities of nodes…
We develop a computationally efficient technique to solve a fairly general distributed service provision problem with selfish users and imperfect information. In particular, in a context in which the service capacity of the existing…
The sparse grid combination technique provides a framework to solve high dimensional numerical problems with standard solvers. Hierarchization is preprocessing step facilitating the communication needed for the combination technique. The…
Recent advancement in web services plays an important role in business to business and business to consumer interaction. Discovery mechanism is not only used to find a suitable service but also provides collaboration between service…
One of the current challenges of Information Systems is to ensure semi-structured data transmission, such as multimedia data, in a distributed and pervasive environment. Information Sytems must then guarantee users a quality of service…
This paper presents a distributed search engine based on semantic P2P Networks. The user's computers join the domains in which user wants to share information in semantic P2P networks which is domain specific virtual tree (VIRGO ). Each…
Query sensitive summarization aims at providing the users with the summary of the contents of single or multiple web pages based on the search query. This paper proposes a novel idea of generating a comparative summary from a set of URLs…
We consider a set of probabilistic functions of some input variables as a representation of the inputs. We present bounds on how informative a representation is about input data. We extend these bounds to hierarchical representations so…
Computational design of menu systems has been solved in limited cases such as the linear menu (list) as an assignment task, where commands are assigned to menu positions while optimizing for for users selection performance and distance of…
In Private Information Retrieval (PIR), one wants to download a file from a database without revealing to the database which file is being downloaded. Much attention has been paid to the case of the database being encoded across several…
Much interest has been taken in understanding the global routing structure of the Internet, both to model and protect the current structures and to modify the structure to improve resilience. These studies rely on trace-routes and…
The paper describes the proposition and application of a local search metaheuristic for multi-objective optimization problems. It is based on two main principles of heuristic search, intensification through variable neighborhoods, and…
The hierarchical caching system where a server connects with multiple mirror sites, each connecting with a distinct set of users, and both the mirror sites and users are equipped with caching memories has been widely studied. However all…
Recent retrieval-augmented models enhance basic methods by building a hierarchical structure over retrieved text chunks through recursive embedding, clustering, and summarization. The most relevant information is then retrieved from both…
Driven by the growth of Web-scale decentralized services, Federated Clustering (FC) aims to extract knowledge from heterogeneous clients in an unsupervised manner while preserving the clients' privacy, which has emerged as a significant…
Distributed estimation and processing in networks modeled by graphs have received a great deal of interest recently, due to the benefits of decentralised processing in terms of performance and robustness to communications link failure…
Clustering is often used for discovering structure in data. Clustering systems differ in the objective function used to evaluate clustering quality and the control strategy used to search the space of clusterings. Ideally, the search…
Pervasive networks formed by users' mobile devices have the potential to exploit a rich set of distributed service components that can be composed to provide each user with a multitude of application level services. However, in many…
We present sorting algorithms that represent the fastest known techniques for a wide range of input sizes, input distributions, data types, and machines. A part of the speed advantage is due to the feature to work in-place. Previously, the…
In this paper we present a theoretical analysis of graph-based service composition in terms of its dependency with service discovery. Driven by this analysis we define a composition framework by means of integration with fine-grained I/O…
