Distributed wireless sensor networks have problems on detecting and preventing malicious nodes, which always bring destructive threats and compromise multiple sensor nodes. Theref...
—Superpeer architectures exploit the heterogeneity of nodes in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network by assigning additional responsibilities to higher capacity nodes. In the design of a ...

— Incentive protocols play a crucial role to encourage cooperation among nodes in networking applications. The aim of this paper is to provide a general analytical framework to a...
In this work, we propose two high-level formalisms, Markov Decision Petri Nets (MDPNs) and Markov Decision Well-formed Nets (MDWNs), useful for the modeling and analysis of distrib...
