The adaptation of the BitTorrent protocol to multimedia on-demand streaming systems essentially lies on the modification of its two core algorithms, namely the piece and the peer selection policies, respectively. Much more attention has though been given to the piece selection policy. Within this context, this article proposes three novel peer selection policies for the design of BitTorrent-lik...

Sensitive information faces critical risks when it is transmitted through computer networks. Existing protection systems are still limited in their capacities to ensure network information has sufficient confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The rapid development in network technologies has only helped increase network attacks and hide their malicious intent. This paper analyzes attack ...

much like spherical lenses do, but in only one dimension. This makes them useful for altering the proportions of an image, either singly or when used in pairs. They can transform a point image into a line image or change the height of an image without altering its width (or vice versa). Applications of this type include anamorphic beam shaping and correcting the elliptical output of a laser dio...

Defects are common, especially in manipulating selections of non-adjacent elements, and flexible selection features are often missing when they would clearly be usef...

To navigate effectively, an autonomous agent must be able to quickly and accurately determine its current location. Given an initial estimate of its position (perhaps based on dead-reckoning) and an image taken of a known environment, our agent first attempts to locate a set of landmarks (real-world objects at known locations), then uses their angular separation to obtain an improved estimate o...
