Abstract— The deployment of converged services of TV, telephony, and Internet access over IP entails a significant initial investment for service providers. This investment is n...
—Energy harvesting sensor platforms have opened up a new dimension to the design of network protocols. In order to sustain the network operation, the energy consumption rate cann...
This paper presents a distributed architecture for the management and retrieval of particular objects called POIsmarts. POIsmarts can be considered as the convergence between virt...
Ad hoc sensor networks consist of large number of wireless sensors that communicate with each other in the absence of a xed infrastructure. Fast self-reconguration and power eci...
1 Distributed and collaborative applications are rapidly converging towards the adoption of a computing paradigm based on service-oriented architectures, according to which an appl...
