— Any system that has the capability to diagnose and recover from faults is considered to be a fault-tolerant system. Additionally, the quality of the incorporated fault-toleranc...
Getting the right software requirements under the right environment assumptions is a critical precondition for developing the right software. This task is intrinsically difficult....
Although data forwarding algorithms and protocols have been among the first set of issues explored in sensor networking, how to reliably deliver sensing data through a vast field...
Energy consumption by computer systems has emerged as an important concern. However, the energy consumed in executing an algorithm cannot be inferred from its performance alone: i...
Abstract—Federated systems have recently attracted much attention because they allow loosely coupled organizations to share resources for common benefits. However, discovering r...
