We describe the implementation and experimental evaluation of a fault-tolerant leader election service for dynamic systems. Intuitively, distributed applications can use this serv...
—We consider the design of a P2P network for the distribution of real-time video streams through the Internet. We follow a multi-source approach where the stream is decomposed in...
In traditional fixed-wired networks, standard protocols like 2-Phase-Commit are used to guarantee atomicity for distributed transactions. However, within mobile networks, a highe...
— Instruments and sensors and their accompanying actuators are essential to the conduct of scientific research. In many cases they provide observations in electronic format and ...
In Marc Weiser’s vision of ubiquitous computing, users are located in an environment with potentially thousands of computers around them. Many capabilities of these smart device...
