There has been a surge of interest in the delivery of personalized information to users (e.g. personalized stocks or travel information), particularly as mobile users with limited terminal device capabilities increasingly desire updated, targeted information in real time. When the number of information recipients is large and there is sufficient commonality in their interests, as is often the c...

In this paper, we propose an architecture that will utilize a group of nodes (rovers) in a cooperative manner to perform efficient rover to orbiter communications. The significant contribution in this paper is an efficient method for information dissemination for data used in a Node Selection Orthogonal Coding (NSOC) [1] scheme. We present bounds on the total number of transmissions sufficient ...

One rapidly expanding application area for state-of-the-art speech recognition technology is the automatic processing of broadcast audiovisual data for information access. Since much of the linguistic information is found in the audio channel, speech recognition is a key enabling technology which, when combined with information retrieval techniques, can be used for searching large audiovisual d...

Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) enable promising new possibilities to enhance traffic safety and efficiency. The vision of VANETs is that vehicles communicate spontaneously, in an ad-hoc manner over a wireless medium. Based on this inter-vehicle communication (IVC), vehicles exchange important information, e.g., about road conditions and hazardous situations. Moreover, such information can b...

In this paper we explain why duplicates arise, we quantify the problem, and we discuss why it impairs information dissemination. We then propose a Duplicate RemovalModule (DRM) for an information disseminati...
