Abstract. Providing energy efficiency in MAC (Medium Access Control) layer, while achieving desirable throughput, is an important research issue in the area of wireless networking....
In this paper we propose a new reciprocity index for quantifying social relationships based on mobile phone call detail records and Twitter blogs. We use this reciprocity index to ...
In this paper, we introduce a new approach to the generation of binary sequences by applying trace functions to elliptic curves over GF 2m. We call these sequences elliptic curve...
The most notable characteristic of continuous-media data is the existence of timing constraints. To handle such data appropriately, some system support for resource management and...
Abstract. Upgrading the software of long-lived, highly-available distributed systems is difficult. It is not possible to upgrade all the nodes in a system at once, since some nodes...
