The circular sensing model has been widely used to estimate performance of sensing applications in existing analysis and simulations. While this model provides valuable high-level...
Designing for a supple interaction, involving users bodily and emotionally into a ‘dance’ with a system is a challenging task. Any break-ups in interaction become fatal to the...
Quorums are a basic construct in solving many fundamental distributed computing problems. One of the known ways of making quorums scalable and efficient is by weakening their int...
