In this paper we investigate two statistical estimators for the number of nodes in the Chord
peer-to-peer system and one estimator for the number of information items stored in the …

Abstract During ISC'2008 Yanjiang Yang, Xuhua Ding, Robert H. Deng, and Feng Bao
presented a construction for holding an encrypted database in a cloud so that the access …

In this paper we focus on Chord P2P system based on the idea of distributed hash tables,
and study the process of unexpected departures of nodes from this system. Each such …

Systems hazards analysis is an analysis tool being used for software controlled systems in
software lifecycle development environments to detect systematic failures. It addresses …

In this paper we analyse the uniformity of Chord P2P system and its improved versions
defined in 1-folded Chord. We are interested in the maximal and the minimal areas …

We analyze the performance of a very natural randomized load balancing scheme: uniformly
joining and splitting weighted bins. We develop a norm-based technique for analyzing this …

We study the limiting behavior of three stochastic processes. Two are interacting particle
systems, the frog model and coalescing random walk. We work out transience and …

In this article we investigate the uniformity of direct union of k copies of Chord which is an
improved version of Chord P2P system. We are interested in the maximal and the minimal …
