By definition, a heavyweight network service requires a significant amount of computation to complete its task. Providing a heavyweight service is challenging for a number of reaso...
With the explosive growth of embedded computing hardware, it is possible to conceive many new networked robotic applications for diverse domains ranging from urban search and resc...
Abstract— We study the problem of maximizing the aggregated revenue in sensor networks with deadline constraints. Our model is that of a sensor network that is arranged in the fo...
—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 ...
Autonomic computing – self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing applications, systems and networks – is widely believed to be a promising solution to everincreasing syst...
