– In contrast to a typical single source of data updates in Internet applications, data files in a networked information system are often distributed, replicated, accessed and up...
We consider bit communication complexity of binary consensus in synchronous message passing systems with processes prone to crashes. A distributed algorithm is locally scalable wh...
In South-East Asia, huge swarms of fireflies synchronously emit light flashes to attract mating partners. The underlying principle can be used to implement a robust and scalable d...
—Achieving secure time-synchronization in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a challenging, but very important problem that has not yet been addressed effectively. This paper pro...
Due to the lack of QoS support, ensuring an acceptable application level QoS for the real-time delivery of multiobject multimedia presentations on the current Internet is very cha...
