This paper is concerned with reducing communication costs when executing distributed user tasks in a sensor network. We take a service-oriented abstraction of sensor networks, whe...
Effective caching in Domain Name System (DNS) is critical to its performance and scalability. Existing DNS only supports weak cache consistency by using the Time-To-Live (TTL) mec...
Distributed hash table (DHT) networks based on consistent hashing functions have an inherent load balancing problem. The problem becomes more severe due to the heterogeneity of ne...
—Carrier sensing is a medium access method widely adopted in wireless communication to protect data transfers from interference. For example, Distributed Coordination Function (D...
Component-based models represent a dominant trend in the construction of wide-area network applications, making possible the integration of diverse functionality contained in modu...
