—The hot spot problem is a typical byproduct of the many-to-one traffic pattern that characterizes most wireless sensor networks: the nodes with the best channel to the sink are ...
Protocols which solve agreement problems are essential building blocks for fault tolerant distributed applications. While many protocols have been published, little has been done ...
Consider a set of players that are interested in collectively evaluating a set of objects. We develop a collaborative scoring protocol in which each player evaluates a subset of t...
Due to modern technology trends such as decreasing feature sizes and lower voltage levels, fault tolerance is becoming increasingly important in computing systems. Shared memory i...
Consider a distributed network of n nodes that is connected to a global source of “beats”. All nodes receive the “beats” simultaneously, and operate in lock-step. A scheme ...
