Site licensing of electronic journals has been revolutionizing the way academic information is distributed. However, many librarians are concerned about the possibility that commercial publishers might abuse site licensing by practicing bundling.

The illustrations in these books were sometimes original, but probably more frequently were based on those of Vesalius either as direct copies or with some minor modifications. After the publication ...

We consider online display advertisement publishers who maximize the revenue by optimal pricing in an oligopoly setting. Each publisher interacts with others though setting cost-perimpression (CPM) that affects the demand for everyone. Using the pseudoconcavity of the objective function, we prove that a unique best response Nash Equilibrium exists for each publisher. We also consider the sensit...

We argue that to satisfy these requirements, caches should be enhanced in both the data and control planes. In the data plane, caches will dynamically generate content for clients by running code provided by publishers. In the control ...

Databases and networks currently have different service models. Database services are data-centric in that users typically describe the content of data and the system finds and returns matching data. However, traditional Internet services are server-centric in that users have to know the location of data (e.g., a URL) in order to retrieve it. We envision a future in which Internet services are ...
