In many applications of wireless sensor networks, sensor nodes are manually deployed in hostile environments where an attacker can disrupt the localization service and tamper with...
Scheduling large amounts of tasks in distributed computing platforms composed of millions of nodes is a challenging goal, even more in a fully decentralized way and with low overhe...
We address the problem of distributed source coding, i.e. compression of correlated sources that are not co-located and/or cannot communicatewith each other to minimize their join...
