Developing applications for smart spaces is a challenging task. Most programming systems narrowly focus on the embedded computer infrastructure and neglect the spatial aspect of th...
Abstract—We consider an interference-limited wireless network, where multiple source-destination pairs compete for the same pool of relay nodes. In an attempt to maximize the sum...
Distributed intelligence and secure interconnected communication networks constitute recognized key factors for the economic operation of electricity infrastructures in competitiv...
