Running Data Grid applications such as High Energy Nuclear Physics (HENP) and weather modelling experiments involves working with huge data sets possibly of hundreds of Terabytes ...
CDMA technology represents an attractive choice for various wireless ad hoc networks applications, due to its appealing properties, such as resistance to jamming and interference,...
1 Although processing speed, storage capacity and network bandwidth are steadily increasing, network latency remains a bottleneck for scientists accessing large remote data sets. T...
— Search and rescue of people in emergency situations, e.g. lost hikers, stranded climbers, or injured skiers has been difficult due to lack of information about their location ...
Smart antennas are expected to enhance scalability in ad hoc networks. This paper at first evaluates three directional MAC protocols, DMAC, MMAC and SWAMP as well as the omni-dir...
