The generalized multiprotocol label switching (GMPLS) networks attain a hierarchical structure, and each layer maintains an independent protection mechanism, resulting in redundant...
—Sensor network localization is an instance of the NP-HARD graph realization problem. Thus, methods used in practice are not guaranteed to find the correct localization, even if...
This paper studies the use of highly dynamic networks as infrastructures for persistent storage of data that offer services at specific geographical zones in a decentralized and...
The peer-to-peer approach to design large-scale systems has significant benefits including scalability, low cost of ownership, robustness, and ability to provide site autonomy. ...
