In this paper, we introduce and evaluate CrossTrace, a framework for performing cross-layer measurements in IEEE 802.11 based wireless networks. CrossTrace allows tracing of parame...
We present and evaluate a novel switching mechanism called layered switching. Conceptually, the layered switching implements wormhole on top of virtual cut-through switching. To s...
—In order to evaluate the performance of new mobile network technologies, system level simulations are crucial. They aim at determining whether, and at which level predicted link...
—Cloud Computing, born in the e-business context, and GRID computing, originated in the e-science context, are two different but similar paradigms for managing large sets of dist...
— Security and QoS are two main issues for a successful wide deployment of multicast services. For instance, in a multicast streaming application, a receiver would require a data...
