Abstract. Renewed interest in ALOHA-based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols stems from their proposed applications to wireless ad hoc and sensor networks that require distribut...
Sensor network nodes exhibit characteristics of both embedded systems and general-purpose systems. They must use little energy and be robust to environmental conditions, while als...

In this paper we introduce the ConSet communication model for distributed memory parallel computers. The communication needs of an application program can be satisfied by some ar...
Ad-hoc networks of mobile devices such as smart phones and PDAs represent a new and exciting distributed system architecture. Building distributed applications on such an architec...
