The characteristics of mobile environments, with the possibility of frequent disconnections and fluctuating bandwidth, have forced a rethink of traditional middleware. In particu...
Authenticating mobile computing users can require a significant amount of processing and communications resources— particularly when protocols based on public key encryption are...
Clustered sensor networks have been shown to increase system throughput, decrease system delay, and save energy. While those with rotating cluster heads, such as LEACH, have also ...
