The widespread distribution and availability of smallscale sensors, actuators, and embedded processors is transforming the physical world into a computing platform. One such examp...
Unpredictability in COTS-based systems often manifests as occasional instances of uncontrollably-high response times. A particular category of COTS systems, fault-tolerant (FT) mid...
Clusters of commodity machines have become a popular way of building cheap high performance parallel computers. Many of these designs rely on standard Ethernet networks as a syste...

Distance bounding protocols have been proposed for many security critical applications as a means of getting an upper bound on the physical distance to a communication partner. As...
In a large sensor network, in-network data aggregation, i.e., combining partial results at intermediate nodes during message routing, significantly reduces the amount of communic...
