Recent research has demonstrated the benefits of active networks: customized network services can easily be built and modified, packet streams can be processed inside the network...
Conventional performance evaluation mechanisms focus on dedicated distributed systems. Grid computing infrastructure, on another hand, is a shared collaborative environment constr...
— When an emergency occurs within a building, it may be initially safer to send autonomous mobile nodes, instead of human responders, to explore the area and identify hazards and...
Smart Dust sensor networks ? consisting of cubic millimeter scale sensor nodes capable of limited computation, sensing, and passive optical communication with a base station ? are...
Abstract. For ubiquitous communication self-organising adhoc networks become more and more important. We consider mobile phones as appropriate secure gateways to provide access to ...
