The literature on programming sensor networks has focused so far on g higher-level abstractions for expressing local node behavior. Kairos is a natural next step in sensor network ...
Active services are application-specified programs that are executed inside the network. The location where the active service is executed plays an important role. The dynamic beha...
As part of its HiPer-D Program, the United States Navy is developing an experimental distributed system which achieves survivability by dynamically reconfiguring the system using ...
