Two-ray ground reflection model has been widely used as the propagation model to investigate the performance of an ad hoc network. But two-ray model is too simple to represent a r...
Distributed applications can be structured using sessions that specify flows of messages between roles. We design a small specific language to declare sessions. We then build a c...
Abstract. We describe a group membership protocol, called the timewheel group membership protocol, for a timed asynchronous distributed system. This protocol is a part of the timew...
The design and development process of communication protocols and real-time systems and particularly transport protocol mechanisms requires adequate methodology and efficient ins...
We present a simple, local protocol, pCover, which provides partial (but high) coverage in sensor networks. Through pCover, we demonstrate that it is feasible to maintain a high c...
