Metacomputing Revisited: Alternative Paradigms for Distributed Resource Sharing

P2P Replication Revisited: Mobile Infrastructures

Traffic engineering in P2P networks deals with organizing overlay networks. The challenge of unavailability has not been mastered yet. Considering the resource allocation can gain further improvements. While adapting P2P file sharing onto mobile infrastructures, we learned that replication is a solution to both issues: availability and traffic optimization.

Rational Secret Sharing, Revisited

We consider the problem of secret sharing among n rational players. This problem was introduced by Halpern and Teague (STOC 2004), who claim that a solution is impossible for n = 2 but show a solution for the case n ≥ 3. Contrary to their claim, we show a protocol for rational secret sharing among n = 2 players; our protocol extends to the case n ≥ 3, where it is simpler than the Halpern-Teague...

Fitness sharing and niching methods revisited

Interest in multimodal optimization function is expanding rapidly since real-world optimization problems often require the location of multiple optima in the search space. In this context, fitness sharing has been used widely to maintain population diversity and permit the investigation of many peaks in the feasible domain. This paper reviews various strategies of sharing and proposes new recom...
