Recent research literature on sensor network databases has focused on finding ways to perform in-network aggregation of sensor readings to reduce the message cost. However, with t...
As mobile devices, such as laptops, PDAs or mobile phones, are getting more and more ubiquitous and are able to communicate with each other via wireless technologies, the paradigm...
Distributed writable storage systems typically provide NFS-like semantics and unbounded persistence for files. We claim that for planetary-scale distributed services such facilit...
