We give a new distributed algorithm EasyMAC for the slot assignment for media access control (MAC) of nodes in a sensor network. Our algorithm reduces both the number of messages ...
Abstract—The end-to-end nature of Internet congestion control is an important factor in its scalability and robustness. However, end-to-end congestion control algorithms alone ar...
This paper proposes a novel secure query processing model for semantic sensor networks. A semantic sensor network (SSN) is a sensor network which includes semantics of sensory dat...
Abstract. We investigate the experimental effectiveness of query rewriting over XML security views. Our model consists of access control policies specified over DTDs with XPath e...
We describe the design and implementation of a security infrastructure for a distributed Java application. This work is inspired by SDSI/SPKI, but has a few twists of its own. We ...
