This paper provides four contributions to the study of optimization techniques for component-based distributed realtime and embedded (DRE) systems. First, we describe key challeng...
—Physical Carrier Sensing plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of CSMA-based MAC protocols, yet its properties and impact on the system performance under slow fading channel...
—In this paper, we extend both Bianchi’s and Kumar’s models and characterize the channel activities governed by IEEE 802.11 DCF in multi-hop wireless networks from the perspe...
Abstract— In this paper we present the design and implementation of a space service that gives pervasive computing applications both a hierarchical and coordinate-based view of p...
Abstract—Networking researchers have long faced a fundamental tension between the experimental realism of wireless testbeds on one hand, and the control and repeatability of simu...
