Within a few years, nearly every vehicle that General Motors (GM) manufactures will have a microcontroller network known as GMLAN. A few GM vehicles already have the GMLAN network...
—In wireless networks, node cooperation has been exploited as a data relaying mechanism for decades. However, the wireless channel allows for much richer interaction among nodes....
Wide-area distributed applications are frequently limited by the performance of Internet data transfer. We argue that the principle cause of this effect is the poor interaction be...
Embedded control systems consist of multiple components with different criticality levels interacting with each other. For example, in a passenger jet, the navigation system inter...
— What is the fastest rate at which we can collect a stream of aggregated data from a set of wireless sensors organized as a tree? We explore a hierarchy of techniques using real...
