The World-Wide Web consists not only of informational, but also computational resources. However, these resources, especially computational ones are underutilized. One characteris...
Abstract--Time synchronization is a critical service for distributed network systems. In this work, we investigate this problem in the context of underwater sensor networks (UWSNs)...
