Existing clock synchronization algorithms assume a bounded clock reading error. This, in turn, results in an inflexible design that typically requires node crashes whenever the g...
Unattended Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) are composed of many small resource-constrained devices and operate autonomously, gathering data which is periodically collected by a v...

Large-scale distributed systems are subject to churn, i.e., continuous arrival, departure and failure of processes. Analysis of protocols under churn requires one to use churn mod...
In many reliable Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications, messages have different priorities depending on urgency or importance. For example, a message reporting the failure of...
In this paper, we argue that the reliability of large-scale storage systems can be significantly improved by using better reliability metrics and more efficient policies for rec...
