The use of context as an input is one of the major characteristics of Ubiquitous Computing systems. This paper looks into the structural and the systematic features of context in ...
- Piezoelectric materials can be used to convert mechanical energy, such as vibration into electrical energy which can be used to power up devices in a smart dust sensing network. ...
Abstract—This paper considers maximizing throughput utility in a multi-user network with partially observable Markov ON/OFF channels. Instantaneous channel states are never known...
A goal of computing and networking systems is to limit administrative requirements for users and operators. A technical systems should be able to configure itself as much as possi...
In many network applications the computation takes place on the minimum-cost spanning tree (MST) of the network; unfortunately, a single link or node failure disconnects the tree. ...
