— An analytical model is proposed to describe the priority schemes of the Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) mechanism of the IEEE 802.11e standard. EDCA provides class-b...
Protein fold recognition is a key step towards inferring the tertiary structures from amino-acid sequences. Complex folds such as those consisting of interacting structural repeat...
We examine the trade-off between lifetime and distortion in image sensor networks deployed for gathering visual information over a monitored region. Users navigate over the monito...
—In wireless sensor networks, in-network aggregation is the process of compressing locally the data gathered by the sensor nodes, so that only the compressed data travel across s...
—Advances in microsensor and radio technology will enable small but smart sensors to be deployed for a wide range of environmental monitoring applications. The low per-node cost ...
