Trickle: A Self-Regulating Algorithm for Code Propagation and Maintenance in Wireless Sensor Networks
- In Proceedings of the First USENIX/ACM Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI
, 2004
"... We present Trickle, an algorithm for propagating and maintaining code updates in wireless sensor networks. Borrowing techniques from the epidemic/gossip, scalable multicast, and wireless broadcast literature, Trickle uses a "polite gossip" policy, where motes periodically broadcast a code ..."

, just enough to stay up to date. We show that with this simple mechanism, Trickle can scale to thousand-fold changes in network density, propagate new code in the order of seconds, and impose a maintenance cost on the order of a few sends an hour.

urgent evaluation with robust randomized designs. Strangely, these problems do not seem to be taken into consideration by some policy-makers. This apparently strong statement needs, however, to be justified. After a brief Web search for up-to-date policy docu-
Venture Capital and the Professionalization of Start-up Firms: Empirical Evidence
- Journal of Finance
, 2002
"... This paper examines the impact venture capital can have on the development of new firms. Using a hand-collected data set on Silicon Valley start-ups, we find that venture capital is related to a variety of professionalization measures, such as human resource policies, the adoption of stock option pl ..."

Driving and dementia: a clinical decision pathway
"... Objective: This study aimed to develop a pathway to bring together current UK legislation, good clinical practice and appropriate management strategies that could be applied across a range of healthcare settings. Methods: The pathway was constructed by a multidisciplinary clinical team based in a bu ..."

Synchronizing a database to Improve Freshness
, 1999
"... In this paper we study how to refresh a local copy of an autonomous data source to maintain the copy up-to-date. As the size of the data grows, it becomes more di#cult to maintain the copy "fresh," making it crucial to synchronize the copy e#ectively. We define two freshness metrics, chang ..."

Hilbert R-tree: An Improved R-tree Using Fractals
- Proceedings 20th VLDB Conference
, 1994
"... We propose a new R-tree structure that outperforms all the older ones. The heart of the idea is to facilitate the deferred splitting approach in R-trees. This is done by proposing an ordering on the R-tree nodes. This ordering has to be 'good', in the sense that it should group 'simil ..."

New Techniques to Extract Market Expectations from Financial Instruments

Effective Page Refresh Policies for Web Crawlers
- ACM TRANSACTIONS ON DATABASE SYSTEMS
, 2003
"... In this paper we study how we can maintain local copies of remote data sources "fresh," when the source data is updated autonomously and independently. In particular, we study the problem of Web crawlers that maintain local copies of remote Web pages for Web search engines. In this context ..."

. In this context, remote data sources (Web sites) do not notify the copies (Web crawlers) of new changes, so we need to periodically poll the sources to maintain the copies up-to-date. Since polling the sources takes significant time and resources, it is very difficult to keep the copies completely up-to-date
