A central issue in the design of modern communication networks is that of providing performance guarantees. This issue is particularly important if the networks support real-time t...
Abstract--Deploying wireless sensor networks to provide guaranteed barrier coverage is critical for many sensor networks applications such as intrusion detection and border surveil...
— Grid computing requires network services beyond what is currently provided by the Best-Effort Internet. Among the different approaches towards network Quality of Service, aggre...
In high-end grid networks, distributed resources (scientific instruments, CPUs, storages, etc.) are interconnected to support computing-intensive and data-intensive applications, w...
In this paper we discuss utility functions models to study Radio Resource Management. Our goal is to identify the characteristics of the wireless systems which make such theoretic...
