The EigenTrust Algorithm for Reputation Management in P2P Networks

by Sepandar D. Kamvar, Mario T. Schlosser, Hector Garcia-molina - in Proceedings of the 12th International World Wide Web Conference (WWW 2003 , 2003
"... Peer-to-peer file-sharing networks are currently receiving much attention as a means of sharing and distributing information. However, as recent experience with P2P networks such as Gnutella shows, the anonymous, open nature of these networks offers an almost ideal environment for the spread of self ..."

Managing Update Conflicts in Bayou, a Weakly Connected Replicated Storage System

by Douglas Terry, Marvin Theimer, Karin Petersen, Alan Demers, Mike Spreitzer, Carl Hauser - In Proceedings of the Fifteenth ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles , 1995
"... Bayou is a replicated, weakly consistent storage system designed for a mobile computing environment that includes portable machines with less than ideal network connectivity. To maximize availability, users can read and write any accessible replica. Bayou's design has focused on supporting apph ..."

Cumulated Gain-based Evaluation of IR Techniques

by Kalervo Järvelin, Jaana Kekäläinen - ACM Transactions on Information Systems , 2002
"... Modem large retrieval environments tend to overwhelm their users by their large output. Since all documents are not of equal relevance to their users, highly relevant documents should be identified and ranked first for presentation to the users. In order to develop IR techniques to this direction, i ..."

Data Assimilation Using an Ensemble Kalman Filter Technique

by P. L. Houtekamer, Herschel L. Mitchell , 1998
"... The possibility of performing data assimilation using the flow-dependent statistics calculated from an ensemble of short-range forecasts (a technique referred to as ensemble Kalman filtering) is examined in an idealized environment. Using a three-level, quasigeostrophic, T21 model and simulated ob ..."

Garp: A MIPS Processor with a Reconfigurable Coprocessor

by John R. Hauser , John Wawrzynek , 1997
"... Typical reconfigurable machines exhibit shortcomings that make them less than ideal for general-purpose computing. The Garp Architecture combines reconfigurable hardware with a standard MIPS processor on the same die to retain the better features of both. Novel aspects of the architecture are presen ..."

Modeling the Interaction of Light Between Diffuse Surfaces

by Cindy M. Goral, Kenneth E. Torrance, Donald P. Greenberg, Bennett Battaile , 1984
"... A method is described which models the interaction of light between diffusely reflecting surfaces. Current light reflection models used in computer graphics do not account for the object-to-object reflection between diffuse surfaces, and thus incorrectly compute the global illumination effects. The ..."

with photographs of a physical model. The procedure is applicable to environments composed of ideal diffuse reflectors and can account for direct illumination from a variety of light sources. The resultant surface intensities are independent of observer position, and thus environments can be preprocessed

The Game of Go: An Ideal Environment for Capstone and Undergraduate Research Projects

"... In this paper, we discuss how Go, a strategy game widely played in Asia and other parts of the world, provides a rich, challenging environment for capstone and undergraduate research projects. We first describe the game itself and the characteristics that make it appropriate for more advanced underg ..."
