— We present in this work a new mechanism based on an innovative hybrid approach for traffic and collision control in wireless ad hoc networks. We combine the well known equatio...
Localization is a fundamental operation in mobile and self-configuring networks such as sensor networks and mobile ad hoc networks. For example, sensor location is often critical...

State explosion is a fundamental problem in the analysis and synthesis of discrete event systems. Continuous Petri nets can be seen as a relaxation of discrete models allowing more...
Product Distribution (PD) theory is a new framework for controlling Multi-Agent Systems (MAS’s). First we review one motivation of PD theory, as the information-theoretic extens...
We present and analyze portable access control mechanisms for large data repositories, in that the customized access policies are stored on a portable device (e.g., a smart card). ...
