— In this paper, we describe a novel localization method for ad hoc wireless sensor networks. Accurate selforganization and localization is an essential characteristic of high pe...
In this paper we present a general hybrid systems modeling framework to describe the flow of traffic in communication networks. To characterize network behavior, these models use...
Many optimization techniques have been adopted for efficient job scheduling in grid computing, such as: genetic algorithms, simulated annealing and stochastic methods. Such techni...

We introduce a novel parametric BRDF model that can
accurately encode a wide variety of real-world isotropic
BRDFs with a small number of parameters. The key observation
we make...
Middleware has emerged as an important architectural component in modern distributed systems. Most recently, industry has witnessed the emergence of component-based middleware pla...
