With the advent of computational grids, networking performance over the wide-area network (WAN) has become a critical component in the grid infrastructure. Unfortunately, many hig...
: The development of real-time systems that are distributed over a wide area is a significant problem that has challenged researchers for many years. Such systems require precise t...

Pervasive computing environments are characterized by an additional heterogeneity compared to existing computing infrastructures. Devices ranging from small embedded systems to fu...
We discuss the design principles of TCP within the context of heterogeneous wired/wireless networks and mobile networking. We identify three shortcomings in TCP's behavior: (...
