Network diagnosis, an essential research topic for traditional networking systems, has not received much attention for wireless sensor networks. Existing sensor debugging tools li...
Wireless sensor networks are designed for a very wide, yet specific, purpose. Their components have processing and power limitations. Due to these limitations, decisions by runni...
An important problem in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks is to select a few nodes to form a virtual backbone that supports routing and other tasks such as area monitoring. Prev...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) pose challenges not present in classical distributed systems: resource limitations, high failure rates, and ad hoc deployment. The lossy nature of w...
