This paper presents a distributed scheduling algorithm for the support of QoS in multiaccess networks. Unlike most contention-based multiaccess protocols which o er no QoS guarant...
Although IEEE 802.15.4 is being considered as a promising standard for low-cost low-power Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), several issues in the specification are still open. One o...

We consider networked, embedded real-time systems that operate under run-time uncertainties on activity execution times and arrivals, node failures, and message losses. We consider...

Conventional performance evaluation mechanisms focus on dedicated distributed systems. Grid computing infrastructure, on another hand, is a shared collaborative environment constr...
To minimize the execution time of a sensing task over a multi-hop hierarchical sensor network, we present a coordinated scheduling method following the divisible load scheduling p...
