Renewable energies can enable embedded systems to be functional indefinitely. In particular for small autonomous sensors, energy harvesting techniques have attracted much interes...
Reliability-aware power management (RAPM) schemes have been recently studied to save energy while preserving system reliability. The existing RAPM schemes, however, provision for ...
—In this paper, we present Black Burst Synchronization (BBS)1 , a novel protocol for decentralized network-wide tick synchronization in wireless ad hoc networks, located at MAC l...
A new generation of distributed systems and applications rely on the cooperation of diverse user populations motivated by self-interest. While they can utilize “reputation syste...
