— Data aggregation protocols can reduce the cost of communication, thereby extending the lifetime of sensor networks. Prior work on data aggregation protocols has focused on tree...
In wireless multi-hop networks, hello protocols for neighbor discovery are a basic service offered by the networking stack. However, their study usually rely on rather simplistic...
Cluster analysis is a common approach to pattern discovery in spatial databases. While many clustering techniques have been developed, it is still challenging to discover implicit...
When software products are assembled from pre-defined components, performance prediction should be based on the components also. This supports rapid model-building, using previous...
A major hurdle facing data intensive grid applications is the appropriate handling of failures that occur in the grid-environment. Implementing the fault-tolerance transparently a...
