Abstract. Wireless sensor networks benefit from communication protocols that reduce power requirements by avoiding frame collision. Time Division Media Access methods schedule tra...
Motivated to design a feasible optical network architecture for the future Internet, we address the question of scheduling (wavelength assignment) in an optical network. The key ch...
Abstract In this paper, we propose the use of a distributed service management architecture for state-of-the-art service-enabled Grids. The architecture is capable of performing au...
