Abstract. The emergence of computing environments where smart devices are embedded pervasively in the physical world has made possible many interesting applications and has trigger...
Snoopy cache coherence can be implemented in any physical network topology by embedding a logical unidirectional ring in the network. Control messages are forwarded using the ring...
It is clearly crucial for the success of object-oriented databases to find effiĆ cient implementations that improve on the performance of relational sysĆ tems, rather than being...
An important property in a sensor network is the monitoring of temporal changes of hazardous situations such as forest fires. Rescue groups need to be aware of dynamic changes th...
The widespread distribution and availability of smallscale sensors, actuators, and embedded processors is transforming the physical world into a computing platform. One such examp...
