Abstract. Asynchronous communications are prominent in distributed and mobile systems. Often consystems consider an abstract point of view with synchronous communications. However ...
— Retransmissions serve as the basic building block that communication protocols use to achieve reliable data transfer. Until recently, the number of retransmissions were thought...
Modern grids have become very complex by their size and their heterogeneity. It makes the deployment and maintenance of systems a difficult task requiring lots of efforts from ad...
Energy constrained systems such as sensor networks can increase their usable lifetimes by extracting energy from their environment. However, environmental energy will typically no...
Abstract--The key to utilizing the potential of multirobot systems is cooperation. How can we achieve cooperation in systems composed of failure-prone autonomous robots operating i...
