This paper presents Feres, a peer-to-peer data synchronization protocol that can be used to construct new, flexible distributed file systems that share data across collections of devices with limited, varying, or intermittent connectivity. The amount of flexibility provided by Feres is not matched by existing protocols. In particular, Feres allows any device to synchronize any subset of data wi...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of a flexible multidose gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist against the effectiveness of a microdose flare-up GnRH agonist combined with a flexible multidose GnRH antagonist protocol in poor responders to in vitro fertilization (IVF). STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study in Akdeniz University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and ...

The design of Tor includes a feature that is common to most distributed systems: the protocol is flexible. In particular, the Tor protocol requires nodes to ignore messages that are not understood, in order to guarantee the compatibility with future protocol versions. This paper shows how to exploit this flexibility by proposing two new active attacks: one against onion services and the other a...

nowadays, a great portion of researches research and industrial innovation is about the electric vehicles (ev) and also ev supply equipment (evse) that play an important role in this context. evse requires standardization via effective communication protocols. in this paper, we propose to customize the existing internet standard routing protocol for low power and lossy networks (rpl) to facilit...

This paper presents a new protocol, the Ordered Core Based Tree (OCBT) protocol, which remedies several shortcomings of the Core Based Tree (CBT) multicast protocol. We show that the CBT protocol can form loops during periods of routing instability, and that it can consistently fail to build a connected multicast tree, even when the underlying routing is stable. The OCBT protocol provably elimi...

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) has gained momentum in recent years as an effective tool to provide Quality of Service (QoS) in a variety of networks. This has in turn created active interest in the area of recovery in MPLS based networks. A number of recovery schemes for MPLS domains have been proposed in recent years. However, the current schemes lack support for recovery in dynamic netw...
