—In next generation wireless networks, not only wide area cells to provide moderate data rate with full mobility but also local area cells to support high data rate with local mo...
Reliable storage of data with concurrent read/write accesses (or query/update) is an ever recurring issue in distributed settings. In mobile ad hoc networks, the problem becomes e...
It is apparent that perturbations of the North American electric power grid follow the patterns and characteristics of Self Organized Critical (SOC) systems. Published studies sho...
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...
This paper envisions a distributed network storage service with Quality-ofService (QoS) guarantees, and describes its architecture and key mechanisms. When fully realized, this se...
