Many cluster based replication solutions have been proposed providing scalability and fault-tolerance. Many of these solutions perform replica control in a middleware on top of th...
—Networked sensors and actuators for purposes from production monitoring and control to home automation are in increasing demand. Until recently, the main focus laid on wired sys...
Sensor nets have many undisputed fields of application. A paradigm of communication is the use of one control channel in the MAC layer. We challenge this paradigm for nodes with v...
By functionally decomposing a specific algorithm (the hierarchical secure aggregation algorithm of Chan et al. [3] and Frikken et al. [7]), we uncover a useful general functionali...
Low energy consumption is becoming the primary design consideration for battery-operated and portable embedded systems, such as personal digital assistants, digital still and movi...
