Abstract. Renewed interest in ALOHA-based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols stems from their proposed applications to wireless ad hoc and sensor networks that require distribut...
We introduce the distributed gradient clock synchronization problem. As in traditional distributed clock synchronization, we consider a network of nodes equipped with hardware clo...
An increasing number of applications operate on data obtained from the Web. These applications typically maintain local copies of the web data to avoid network latency in data acc...
Grid applications often need to distribute large amounts of data efficiently from one cluster to multiple others (multicast). Existing methods usually arrange nodes in optimized t...
Many routing protocols for MANETs do not promote a balanced use of resources among the participating nodes, since they are designed to optimize other criteria, such as the number ...
