In this talk, flexible coding is presented for the ubiquitous distributed systems. Facing the fact that the failures are unpredictable in distributed storage, a framework for flexible codes to achieve the optimal latency of accessing information is proposed. Instead of accessing a fixed number of nodes as in a conventional code, a flexible code allows... Read more →

What are the Surface Web, Dark Web, and Darknet? Where do they fit in the big picture; how can they be accessed, … and what is deeper? IEEE Computer Society Life Member Dr. Bill Curd will start with an overview of the Internet, especially the Darknet, how to access, search, and navigate there with some... Read more →
