A recent trend in Ubiquitous Computing is that embedded software (e.g. in production machines, wired or wireless networked sensors and actuators, or RFID readers) directly offers W...
Abstract--Arbitration and scheduling of multiple tags in stateof-the-art Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems is accomplished on the medium access control layer. Currently...
This paper describes our experience in developing a software system for use in the environmental modeling community. The primary user of this software is intended to be a scientis...
RFID-based access control solutions for mobile environments, e.g. ticketing systems for sport events, commonly rely on readers that are not continuously connected to the back-end s...
The goal of this paper is to define and analyze systems which exhibit brittle behavior. This behavior is characterized by a sudden and steep decline in performance as the system s...
