Computation off-loading, i.e., remote execution, has been shown to be effective for extending the computational power and battery life of resource-restricted devices, e.g., hand-h...
A Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) provides wireless links among proximate devices, usually carried by an individual. As WPAN gains momentum in ubiquitous usage, the interfer...
Failure detectors are fundamental building blocks in distributed systems. Multi-node failure detectors, where the detector is tasked with monitoring N other nodes, play a critical...
