In this paper, we describe why current research in ad hoc networks requires an effective assessment framework, and how our system profile proposal can be used for the purpose. W...
—Wireless ad hoc networks are seldom characterized by one single performance metric, yet the current literature lacks a flexible framework to assist in characterizing the design...
We present an architectural framework, Garnet, which a data stream centric abstraction to encourage the manipulation and exploitation of data generated in sensor networks. By prov...
Networks of wireless microsensors for monitoring physical environments have emerged as an important new application area for the wireless technology. Key attributes of these new t...
Abstract – In this paper, a variational message passing framework is proposed for Markov random fields. Analogous to the traditional belief propagation algorithm, variational mes...
