Networked appliances can simplify our lives, but interacting with them can be difficult in itself. KitchenSense is an early prototype of a networked kitchen full of sensors that u...
In this work, we develop a CSMA-based MAC protocol to avoid reader-reader and reader-tag collisions in a dense RFID network. The network is implemented using mote-based RFID reade...
This paper presents the design of asynchronous circuits on synchronous FPGAs and CPLDs. Different design styles have been investigated through the implementation of dual-rail full...
