Using directional antennas in wireless ad hoc networks can significantly improve network performance. However, the deafness problem greatly limits the network performance. This pa...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are distributed systems whose main goal is to collect and deliver data to applications. This paper proposes a reflective, service-oriented middlewa...
We propose an efficient scheme called CoReS (Configuration and Registration Scheme) that integrates address assignment and service location for ad hoc networks prevalent in pervasi...
Nested-parallelism programming models, where the task graph associated to a computation is series-parallel, present good analysis properties that can be exploited for scheduling, c...
We consider a cluster architecture in which dynamic content is generated by a database back-end and a collection of Web and application server front-ends. We study the effect of t...
