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...
Multi-hop relaying is an important concept in tackling the inherent problems of limited capacity and coverage in cellular networks. It helps to solve the dead-spots problem and to...
Simulation optimization (SO) is the process of finding the optimum design of a system whose performance measure(s) are estimated via simulation. We propose some ideas to improve o...
We report on the design, implementation, and evaluation of a system called Cedar that enables mobile database access with good performance over low-bandwidth networks. This is acc...
Abstract. Advances in wireless and mobile communication technologies have enabled the development of various RFID-based systems and applications in addition to the extension of the...
