— Mobile ad hoc networking has been an active research area for several years. How to stimulate cooperation among selfish mobile nodes, however, is not well addressed yet. In th...
To increase the achievable sum rate of downlink MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems, the cooperation among Base Stations (BS) is investigated in a slow fading channel. Th...
—In distributed computing systems (DCSs) where server nodes can fail permanently with nonzero probability, the system performance can be assessed by means of the service reliabil...
This paper presents WISBuilder, a framework that investigates an approach for facilitating the development of Web-based Information Systems. The approach is based on the Model-Vie...
In this paper, we present a feedback-based system for managing trust and detecting malicious behavior in autonomically behaving networks. Like other distributed trust management sy...
