— In large Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), each hop might incur varying delays due to medium access contention, transmission and computation delays. Fast and efficient query re...

In this paper, the manufacturing blocking system (MBS) is studied from the Network Calculus (NetCal) perspective. By dominating an MBS by a window flow controller (WFC), we obtain...
The M/G/1 queue is a classical model used to represent a large number of real-life computer and networking applications. In this note, we show that, for coefficients of variation o...
In this paper, we introduce an analytical expression for the expected distortion of a single layer encoded video bit-stream. Based on the expected distortion model, we propose a d...
In most network models for quality of service support, the communication links interconnecting the switches and gateways are assumed to have fixed bandwidth and zero error rate. T...
