In reservation-based packet scheduling algorithms for single-hop WDM networks, one of the wavelengths is used as a control channel which is shared by all of the nodes for transmit...
— In Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks (WSANs), the collaborative operation of sensors enables the distributed sensing of a physical phenomenon, while actors collect and process...
Sources of data uncertainty and imprecision are numerous. A way to handle this uncertainty is to associate probabilistic annotations to data. Many such probabilistic database mode...
Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing grids consist of peer nodes that communicate directly among themselves through wide-area networks and can act as both clients and servers. These syste...
Quorum-based Power Saving (QPS) protocols have been proposed for ad hoc networks (e.g., IEEE 802.11 ad hoc mode) to increase energy efficiency and prolong the operational time of...
