Wireless sensor network applications, similarly to other distributed systems, often require a scalable time synchronization service enabling data consistency and coordination. Thi...
— We investigate the effect of packet delays and packet drops on networked control systems. First we consider the problem of where to locate a controller or state estimator in a...
— The recent researches in wireless networks prompt the opportunistic transmission that exploiting channel fluctuations to improve the overall system performance. In wireless ad...
The ability of worms to spread at rates that effectively preclude human-directed reaction has elevated them to a first-class security threat to distributed systems. We present th...
We propose a generic communication primitive designed for sensor networks. Our primitive hides details of network communication while retaining sufficient programmer control over t...
