—In this paper, we present an extended Mobile Backbone Network (MBN) topology synthesis algorithm (ETSA) for constructing and maintaining a dynamic backbone structure in mobile w...
We examine a policy for managing modem pools that disconnects users only if not enough modems are available for other users to connect. Managing the modem pool then becomes a repl...
Checkpointing is a very effective technique to tolerate the occurrence of failures in distributed and parallel applications. The existing algorithms in the literature are basicall...
