We propose a new replication control scheme for multiple-copy consistency in mobile distributed database systems. Replicating data at multiple sites could contribute to enhance th...
—Recent research in pervasive computing has shown that context-awareness and dynamic adaptation are fundamental requirements of mobile distributed applications. However, most app...
Authenticating mobile computing users can require a significant amount of processing and communications resources— particularly when protocols based on public key encryption are...
We present QoS Geometric Broadcast Protocol (QoSGBP), a novel broadcasting protocol for heterogeneous wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. While broadcasting is a very energy-expe...
Service discovery in mobile ad hoc networks is challenging because of the absence of any central intelligence in the network. Traditional solutions as used in the Internet are hen...
