Model checking can be an effective technique for detecting concurrency-related errors in software systems. However, due to scalability issues, to handle industrial-strength softw...
In a large sensor network, in-network data aggregation, i.e., combining partial results at intermediate nodes during message routing, significantly reduces the amount of communic...
Most sensor network research and software design has been guided by an architectural principle that permits multi-node data fusion on small-form-factor, resource-poor nodes, or mo...
