We use a constrained optimization framework to derive fundamental scaling laws for both unstructured sensor networks (which use blind sequential search for querying) and structure...
IEEE 802.11 MAC, called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), employs carrier sensing to effectively avoid collisions, but this makes it difficult to maximally reuse the sp...
LOFAR is the first of a new generation of radio telescopes. Rather than using expensive dishes, it forms a distributed sensor network that combines the signals from many thousands...

As mobile and embedded devices become widespread, the management and configuration of the software in the devices is increasingly turning into a critical issue. OSGi is a busines...
The database tier of dynamic content servers at large Internet sites is typically hosted on centralized and expensive hardware. Recently, research prototypes have proposed using d...
