—Distributed computing systems often strive to decouple their communicating components (threads on a single node, or nodes in a network) from each other with respect to time, spa...
Energy efficiency is of the utmost importance in wireless sensor networks. The family of low-power-listening MAC protocols was proposed to reduce one form of energy dissipation...
Abstract--Many efforts are centered around creating largescale networks of "smart things" found in the physical world (e.g., wireless sensor and actuator networks, embedd...
This paper studies the fundamental trade-off between communication cost and delay cost arising in various contexts such as control message aggregation or organization theory. An o...
