We present a simple model of self-organization for sensor networks that addresses two conflicting requirements: hazard situations should be reported to a sink node with as little ...
Despite recent excitement generated by the peer-to-peer (P2P) paradigm and the surprisingly rapid deployment of some P2P applications, there are few quantitative evaluations of P2...
Chemical computing models have been proposed since the 1980ies for expressing concurrent computations in elegant ways for shared memory systems. In this paper we look at the distri...

Abstract--We investigate an abstraction method, called meanfield method, for the performance evaluation of dynamic networks with pairwise communication between nodes. It allows us ...
