— The Internet of Things, emerging pervasive and sensor networks are low data-rate wireless networks with, a priori, no specific topology and no fixed infrastructure. Their pri...
—Wireless ad hoc networks are seldom characterized by one single performance metric, yet the current literature lacks a flexible framework to assist in characterizing the design...
At the intersection of robotics, computational geometry, and manufacturingengineering, we have identifieda collection of research problems with near-term industrial applications. ...
The increased complexity, heterogeneity and the dynamism of networked systems and services make current control and management tools to be ineffective in managing and securing suc...
In a distributed system, replication of components, such as objects, is a well known way of achieving availability. For increased availability, crashed and disconnected components...
