In this paper, we investigate the impact of mobility on the performance of multi-hop wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. We introduced some models of mobility in these networks and studied their behavior in realistic situations. It concerns the basic relationship between link length and message transmission. Additionally, we take into consideration the probability of successful transmission in...

Lim , Jason Morton , and Jerzy

This workshop was sponsored by AIM and the NSF and it brought in participants from the US, Canada and the European Union to Palo Alto, CA to work to translate questions from quantum computing, complexity theory, statistical learning theory, signal processing, and data analysis to problems in geometry and representation theory. In all these areas, varieties in spaces of tensors that are invarian...

Predicting response times for the Spotify backend 27 July , 2012

We model and evaluate the performance of a distributed key-value storage system that is part of the Spotify backend. Spotify is an on-demand music streaming service, offering low-latency access to a library of over 16 million tracks and serving over 10 million users currently. We first present a simplified model of the Spotify storage architecture, in order to make its analysis feasible. We the...

Dynamic explicit surface meshes and applications(DRAFT: July 27, 2012)

Explicit surface tracking encompasses the discretization of moving surfaces in 3D with triangle meshes. This thesis presents key contributions towards making explicit surface tracking tractable. I first deal with the topology change problem (the merging and splitting of mesh surfaces), introducing a framework for guaranteeing intersection-free surfaces while handling these topological changes. ...
