      DBGlobe: A service-oriented P2P system for global computing 

      Pitoura, Evaggelia 1967-; Abiteboul, S.; Pfoser, D.; Samaras, George S.; Vazirgiannis, M. (2003)
      The challenge of peer-to-peer computing goes beyond simple file sharing. In the DBGlobe project, we view the multitude of peers carrying data and services as a super-database. Our goal is to develop a data management system ...

      Distributed location aware web crawling 

      Papapetrou, Odysseas; Samaras, George S. (2004)
      Distributed crawling has shown that it can overcome important limitations of the today's crawling paradigm. However, the optimal benefits of this approach are usually limited to the sites hosting the crawler. In this work, ...

      Fuzzy backward congestion notification (FBCN) congestion control in asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks 

      Pitsillides, Andreas; Sekercioglu, Y. Ahmet; Ramamurthy, Gopalakrishnan (IEEE, 1995)
      In this paper, we study the performance of a fuzzy control scheme as a first step to develop better control strategies for avoiding congestion and attaining high link utilisation in ATM based networks. Due to the complexity ...

      Fuzzy control of ABR traffic flow in ATM LANs 

      Sekercioglu, Y. Ahmet; Pitsillides, Andreas (IEEE, 1995)
      High-speed LANs are beginning to migrate from shared media to switch based configurations (commonly based on ATM architectures). Because of the characteristics of ATM networks and nature of LAN traffic, there is a need for ...

      An investigation of web crawler behavior: Characterization and metrics 

      Dikaiakos, Marios D.; Stassopoulou, Athena; Papageorgiou, Loizos (2005)
      In this paper, we present a characterization study of search-engine crawlers. For the purposes of our work, we use Web-server access logs from five academic sites in three different countries. Based on these logs, we analyze ...
