Dealing with interference is one of the primary challenges to solve in the design of protocols for wireless ad-hoc networks. Most of the work in the literature assumes localized o...
This paper proposes a new principle for designing MAC protocols for spread spectrum based ad hoc networks ? inducing spatial clustering in contending transmitters/receivers. We fi...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose and evaluate RIDA, a novel informationdriven architecture for distributed data compression in a sensor network, allowing it to conserve energy a...
Queries describe the users' search intent and therefore they play an essential role in the context of ranking for information retrieval and Web search. However, most of exist...
We consider a set of views stating possibly conflicting facts. Negative facts in the views may come, e.g., from functional dependencies in the underlying database schema. We want ...
