Understanding and Deconstructing BitTorrent Performance
TL;DR: The results show that BitTor-rent performs near-optimally in terms of uplink utilization, download time, and fairness, except under certain extremity conditions, which point to theremarkable robustness of BitTorrent’s performance despite(or perhaps due to) the simplicity of its mechanisms.
Please Continue to Hold: An Empirical Study on User Tolerance of Security Delays.
Serge Egelman,David Molnar,Nicolas Christin,Alessandro Acquisti,Cormac Herley,Shriram Krishnamurthi +5 more
TL;DR: The results of an experiment examining the extent to which individuals will tolerate delays when told that such delays are for security purposes suggest that, when security mitigations cannot be made “free” for users, designers may incentivize compliant users’ behavior by intentionally drawing attention to the mitigation itself.

Cormac Herley,Jonathan C. Platt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a large capacity, user defined audio content delivery system that delivers uninterrupted music and information content (e.g., news by evaluating and encoding an input audio stream while outputting another stream).

Flexible time segmentations for time-varying wavelet packets
TL;DR: A fast dynamic programming based algorithm is proposed to solve the optimal segmentation problem of a time-varying filter bank representation for a signal, which is optimal for a rate-distortion cost function.

Efficient inscribing of noisy rectangular objects in scanned images
TL;DR: This work examines the question of identifying and segmenting noisy rectangles, where edges may be ragged, corners may be missing and so on, and tests the robustness of the scheme on receipts and small documents obtained from real scans.
