Researches around wireless sensor network (WSN) were very prolific recently. However, traffic modeling related WSN research was poorly less. In this paper, source traffic dynamics...
We address performance issues associated with simulationbased algorithms for optimizing Markov reward processes. Specifically, we are concerned with algorithms that exploit the re...
Traditional approaches to security evaluation have been based on penetration testing of real systems, or analysis of formal models of such systems. The former suffer from the prob...
