Abstract—Today’s wirelessly networked embedded systems underlie a vast array of electronic devices, performing computation, communication, and input/output. A major design goal...
Sensor networks are meant for sensing and disseminating information about the environment they sense. The criticality of a sensed phenomenon determines it’s importance to the en...
A wireless sensor network (WSN) is envisioned as a cluster of tiny power-constrained devices with functions of sensing and communications. Sensors closer to a sink node have a larg...
The concept of context-dependent access control has emerged during the last years: Information about the state of a process model of a working environment is combined with general ...
We derive lower bounds on the convergence speed of a widely used class of distributed averaging algorithms. In particular, we prove that any distributed averaging algorithm whose ...
