This paper describes a simple method for selling advertising, pay-per-percentage of impressions that is immune to both click fraud and impression fraud. The paper describes assumptions required to guarantee the immunity, which impact the design of the system. In particular, ads must be shown in a truly random way, across...
Distributed Shortest-Positioning Time First (D-SPTF) is a request distribution protocol for decentralized systems of storage servers. D-SPTF exploits high-speed interconnects to dynamically select which server, among those with a replica, should service each read request. In doing so, it simultaneously balances load, exploits the aggregate cache capacity, and reduces positioning...
Large-scale computing often consists of many speculative tasks to test hypotheses, search for insights, and review potentially finished products. E.g., speculative tasks are issued by bioinformaticists comparing DNA sequences and computer graphics artists adjusting scene properties. This paper promotes a way of working that exploits the inherent speculation in application-level...
Continuous queries in a Data Stream Management System DSMS rely on time as a basis for windows on streams and for defining a consistent semantics for multiple streams and updatable relations. The system clock in a centralized DSMS provides a convenient and well-behaved notion of time, but often it is...
Unauthorized copying of movies is a major concern for the motion picture industry. While unauthorized copies of movies have been distributed via portable physical media for some time, low-cost, high-bandwidth Internet connections and peer-to-peer file sharing networks provide highly efficient distribution media. Many movies are showing up on file sharing...
This paper describes low-voltage RAM designs for stand-alone and embedded memories in terms of signal-to-noise-ratio designs of RAM cells and sub threshold-current reduction. First, structures and areas of current DRAM and SRAM cells are discussed. Next, low-voltage peripheral circuits that have been proposed so far are reviewed with focus on...
