Near-Optimal Distributed Failure Circumscription
(2003-08-11)
Small failures should only disrupt a small part of a network. One wayto do this is by marking the surrounding area as untrustworthy ---circumscribing the failure. This can be done with a distributedalgorithm using ...
Learning From Snapshot Examples
(2005-04-13)
Examples are a powerful tool for teaching both humans and computers.In order to learn from examples, however, a student must first extractthe examples from its stream of perception. Snapshot learning is ageneral approach ...
RamboNodes for the Metropolitan Ad Hoc Network
(2003-12-17)
We present an algorithm to store data robustly in a large, geographically distributed network by means of localized regions of data storage that move in response to changing conditions. For example, data might migrate away ...
Biologically-Inspired Robust Spatial Programming
(2005-01-18)
Inspired by the robustness and flexibility of biological systems, we are developing linguistic and programming tools to allow us to program spatial systems populated by vast numbers of unreliable components interconnected ...
