— A weight or cost is usually assigned to each link for consideration in path construction, and the delay and loss rate have been used as conventional link weights. However, when...
Existing approaches for sensor networks suffer from a number of critical drawbacks. First, homogeneous deployments have been commonly assumed, but in practice multiple deployments ...

— The effectiveness of cluster-based distributed sensor networks depends to a large extent on the coverage provided by the sensor deployment. We propose a virtual force algorithm...
The dynamic and lossy nature of wireless communication poses major challenges to reliable, self-organizing multihop networks. These non-ideal characteristics are more problematic ...
As networks become all-pervasive the importance of efficient information gathering for purposes such as monitoring, fault diagnosis, and performance evaluation can only increase. E...
