A framework to assess transient performance measures is introduced by generalizing the theory of the quasi Birthand-Death (QBD) paradigm to QBDs with marked time epochs (QBDm ). T...
A virtual fence is created by applying an aversive stimulus to an animal when it approaches a predefined boundary. It is implemented by a small animal-borne computer system with a...

We propose a universal synchronization scheme for distributed audio-video capture on heterogeneous computing devices such as laptops, tablets, PDAs, cellular phones, audio recorde...
We consider the problem of synchronization of all clocks in a sensor network, in the regime of asymptotically high node densities. We formulate this problem as one in which all cl...
We study a wireless network under the 802.11 random access protocol, supporting multiple physical layer rates. Based on models for the effective packet rates achieved at the MAC ...
