Comments on Broadcast Channels

by Thomas M. Cover , 1998
"... The key ideas in the theory of broadcast channels are illustrated by discussing some of the progress toward finding the capacity region. The capacity region is still unknown. Index Terms---Binning, broadcast channel, capacity, degraded broadcast channel, feedback capacity, Slepian--Wolf, superposit ..."

Grid Information Services for Distributed Resource Sharing

by Karl Czajkowski , Steven Fitzgerald, Ian Foster, Carl Kesselman , 2001
"... Grid technologies enable large-scale sharing of resources within formal or informal consortia of individuals and/or institutions: what are sometimes called virtual organizations. In these settings, the discovery, characterization, and monitoring of resources, services, and computations are challengi ..."

are challenging problems due to the considerable diversity, large numbers, dynamic behavior, and geographical distribution of the entities in which a user might be interested. Consequently, information services are a vital part of any Grid software infrastructure, providing fundamental mechanisms for discovery

Network Coding for Large Scale Content Distribution

by Christos Gkantsidis, Pablo Rodriguez Rodriguez
"... We propose a new scheme for content distribution of large files that is based on network coding. With network coding, each node of the distribution network is able to generate and transmit encoded blocks of information. The randomization introduced by the coding process eases the scheduling of bloc ..."

Tapestry: A Resilient Global-scale Overlay for Service Deployment

by Ben Y. Zhao, Ling Huang, Jeremy Stribling, Sean C. Rhea, Anthony D. Joseph, John D. Kubiatowicz - IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications , 2004
"... We present Tapestry, a peer-to-peer overlay routing infrastructure offering efficient, scalable, locationindependent routing of messages directly to nearby copies of an object or service using only localized resources. Tapestry supports a generic Decentralized Object Location and Routing (DOLR) API ..."

behavior and performance as an overlay, despite the instability of the underlying network layers. Several widely-distributed applications have been implemented on Tapestry, illustrating its utility as a deployment infrastructure.

The broadcast storm problem in a mobile ad hoc network

by Sze-yao Ni, Yu-chee Tseng, Yuh-shyan Chen, Jang-ping Sheu - ACM Wireless Networks , 2002
"... Broadcasting is a common operation in a network to resolve many issues. In a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) in par-ticular, due to host mobility, such operations are expected to be executed more frequently (such as finding a route to a particular host, paging a particular host, and sending an alarm s ..."

Chord: A Scalable Peer-to-Peer Lookup Service for Internet Applications

by Ion Stoica, Robert Morris, David Karger, M. Frans Kaashoek, Hari Balakrishnan - SIGCOMM'01 , 2001
"... A fundamental problem that confronts peer-to-peer applications is to efficiently locate the node that stores a particular data item. This paper presents Chord, a distributed lookup protocol that addresses this problem. Chord provides support for just one operation: given a key, it maps the key onto ..."

Object exchange across heterogeneous information sources

by Yannis Papakonstantinou, Hector Garcia-molina, Jennifer Widom - INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DATA ENGINEERING , 1995
"... We address the problem of providing integrated access to diverse and dynamic information sources. We explain how this problem differs from the traditional database integration problem and we focus on one aspect of the information integration problem, namely information exchange. We define an object- ..."

Pastry: Scalable, distributed object location and routing for large-scale peer-to-peer systems

by Antony Rowstron, Peter Druschel , 2001
"... This paper presents the design and evaluation of Pastry, a scalable, distributed object location and routing scheme for wide-area peer-to-peer applications. Pastry provides application-level routing and object location in a potentially very large overlay network of nodes connected via the Internet. ..."

Freenet: A Distributed Anonymous Information Storage and Retrieval System

by Ian Clarke, Oskar Sandberg, Brandon Wiley, Theodore W. Hong - INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON DESIGNING PRIVACY ENHANCING TECHNOLOGIES: DESIGN ISSUES IN ANONYMITY AND UNOBSERVABILITY , 2001
"... We describe Freenet, an adaptive peer-to-peer network application that permits the publication, replication, and retrieval of data while protecting the anonymity of both authors and readers. Freenet operates as a network of identical nodes that collectively pool their storage space to store data ..."
