A collision resolution scheme is essential to the performance of a random-access wireless network. Most schemes employ exponential backoff (EB) to adjust the transmission attempt ...
Software systems are known to suffer from outages due to transient errors. Recently, the phenomenon of “software aging”, one in which the state of the software system degrades...

This paper presents DisAC-9, the first optimal distributed algorithm performing the arc-consistency of a constraint network. Our method is optimal according to the number of messa...
Abstract-- The efficiency of distributed sensor networks depends on an optimal trade-off between the usage of resources and data quality. The work in this paper addresses the probl...
