The Wisdom of the PHAROS.

Pharos: accurate and decentralised network coordinate system

Network coordinates (NC) system is an efficient mechanism for Internet distance prediction with scalable measurements. The intrinsical cause for the unsatisfactory accuracy of the simulation-based NC algorithms has been identified. Then Pharos, a fully decentralised and hierarchical scheme, is proposed to solve this problem. Pharos leverages multiple coordinate sets at different distance scales...

Integration of Annotation Technologies in the PHAROS Platform A Pharos whitepaper

PHAROS is a configurable and customizable platform for Search-Based Applications (SBA). Such platforms allow integration of different kinds of annotation and indexing technologies for any media type. We report on an experiment of integration of an annotation component within the PHAROS configurable multimedia search platform. We integrate a third-party image analysis technology for human face r...

Pharos: Privacy Hazards of Replicating ORAM Stores

Although outsourcing data to cloud storage has become popular, the increasing concerns about data security and privacy in the cloud blocks broader cloud adoption. Recent efforts have developed oblivious storage systems to hide both the data content and the data access patterns from an untrusted cloud provider. These systems have shown great progress in improving the efficiency of oblivious acce...
