Abstract-- Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are large collections of resource limited nodes, densely deployed over a landscape. They gather and disseminate local data using multihop...
With the increased popularity of replica-based services in distributed systems such as the Grid, consistency control among replicas becomes more and more important. To this end, I...
A consistency protocol can be termed symmetric if all processors are treated identically when they access common resources. By contrast, asymmetric protocols usually assign a home...
Improvements at the physical network layer have enabled technologies such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Single core end-systems are unable to fully utilise these networks, due to limite...
The imprecise computation model provides the ability to cope with unpredictable workloads. However, there is no consistent way on how to terminate the computation in its early sta...
