Robotic storage devices offer huge storage capacity at a low cost per byte, but with large access times. Integrating these devices into the storage hierarchy presents a challenge ...
Direct volume rendering is an important tool for visualizing complex data sets. However, in the process of generating 2D images from 3D data, information is lost in the form of at...
Guardbands are designed to insulate transmissions on adjacent frequencies from mutual interference. As more devices in a given area are packed into orthogonal wireless channels, c...
The need for network stability and reliability has led to the growth of autonomic networks [2] that can provide more stable and more reliable communications via on-line measuremen...
—IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) uses a binary exponential backoff algorithm to arbitrate simultaneous channel access by multiple stations. When a station sen...
