Over the Internet today, computing and communications environments are significantly more
complex and chaotic than classical distributed systems, lacking any centralized organization …

Distributed computer architectures labeled" peer-to-peer" are designed for the sharing of
computer resources (content, storage, CPU cycles) by direct exchange, rather than requiring …

We develop a model to study the phenomenon of free-riding in peer-to-peer (P2P) systems.
At the heart of our model is a user of a certain type, an intrinsic and private parameter that …

Lack of cooperation (free riding) is one of the key problems that confronts today's P2P
systems. What makes this problem particularly difficult is the unique set of challenges that …

Blockchains are being recently used as a supporting technology framework for
decentralized applications requiring functionalities such as exchange of value through …

We report the first experimental demonstration of conditional preparation of a nonclassical
state of light in the continuous variable regime. Starting from a nondegenerate optical …

Popular content distribution is one of the key services provided by vehicular ad hoc networks
(VANETs), in which a popular file is broadcast by roadside units (RSUs) to the onboard units …

Mobile crowdsensing (MCS) is a new paradigm of sensing by taking advantage of the rich
embedded sensors of mobile user devices. However, the traditional server-client MCS …

We propose a rank-based peer-selection mechanism for peer-to-peer media streaming
systems. The mechanism provides incentives for cooperation through service differentiation …
