In distributed systems that use active replication to achieve robustness, it is important to efficiently enforce consistency among replicas. The nonblocking mode helps to speed u...
3D tele-immersion (3DTI) has recently emerged as a new way of video-mediated collaboration across the Internet. Unlike conventional 2D video-conferencing systems, it can immerse r...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are employed in many applications in order to collect data. One key challenge is to minimize energy consumption to prolong network lifetime. A sche...

As distributed real-time applications gain in popularity, a key challenge is to allocate resources so that diverse realtime requirements (including non-real-time applications), di...
In a realistic sensor network, in particular with a nonuniform deployment, sensor nodes inevitably have varying workloads. This causes a natural problem that some sensor nodes are...
