We present a new polynomial-space algorithm for solving Distributed Constraint Optimization problems (DCOP). The algorithm, called NCBB, is branch and bound search with modificati...
The term distributed computing conjures the image of a fixed network structure whose nodes support the execution of processes that communicate with each other via messages traveli...

Password authentication is a popular approach used for user authentication in pervasive computing environments due to its simplicity and convenience. To secure the transmission be...
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) have evolved in the last years into standards in the communication world. By definition, they do not need any network infrastructure to facilitate ...
TCP can perform poorly in multi-hop wireless networks due to problems that arise with contention and mobility. Endto-end protocols are at an inherent disadvantage in trying to sol...
