Performance of many P2P systems depends on the ability to construct a random overlay network among the nodes. Current state-of-the-art techniques for constructing random overlays have an implicit requirement that any two nodes in the system should always be able to communicate and establish a link between them. However, this is not the case in some of the environments where distributed systems ...

Human intelligence can simultaneously process many tasks with the ability to accumulate and reuse knowledge. Recent advances in artificial intelligence, such as Transfer, Multitask Layered Learning, seek replicate these abilities. However, humans must specify task order, which is often difficult particularly uncertain domain This work introduces a Continual-learning system (ConCS), that given a...

Unsupervised continual learning remains a relatively uncharted territory in the existing literature because vast majority of works call for unlimited access ground truth incurring expensive labelling cost. Another issue lies problem task boundaries and IDs which must be known model’s updates or predictions hindering feasibility real-time deployment. Knowledge Retention Self-Adaptive Deep Contin...

Abstract Although Voice Assistants are ubiquitously available for some years now, the interaction is still monotonous and utilitarian. Sound design offers conceptual methodological research to auditive interfaces. Our work aims complement supplement voice with sonic overlays enrich user experience. Therefore, we followed a user-centered process develop sound library weather forecasts based on e...

We present the extensions made to NEPI, the Network Experimentation Programming Interface, to allow easy creation and customization of routing overlays on top of PlanetLab. We particularly focus on demonstrating the traffic shaping capabilities provided by NEPI, with the use of customizable stream filters on PlanetLab overlays to induce controllable packet prioritization.

Recent events have made it clear that potentially pandemic strains of influenza regularly pose a threat to human populations. Therefore, it is essential that we develop better strategies to enhance vaccine design and evaluation to predict those that will be poor responders to vaccination and to identify those that are at particular risk of disease-associated complications following infection. A...
