Providing service discovery in an efficient and scalable way in ad hoc networks is a challenging problem, in particular for multihop scenarios, due to the large number of potential...
Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) conveniently complement infrastructure-based networks, allowing mobile nodes to spontaneously form a network and share their services, including br...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are challenging types of networks where resources can be scarce. In particular, battery is often a very limited resource and the radio interface is...
Despite much research in the area of wireless sensor networks in recent years, the programming of sensor nodes is still time-consuming and tedious. A new paradigm which seems to b...
