We deal with temporal aspects of distributed systems, introducing and studying a new model called timed distributed -calculus. This model extends distributed -calculus with timers...
In IEEE 802.11 based ad hoc networks, by simply manipulating the back-off timers and/or wait times prior to transmission, malicious nodes can cause a drastically reduced allocatio...
