— Considerable attention is now being devoted to the study of “complexity science” with the intent of discovering and applying universal laws of highly interconnected and evo...
This paper describes BiSNET (Biologically-inspired architecture for Sensor NETworks), a middleware architecture that addresses several key issues in multi-modal wireless sensor ne...
The problem of minimizing communication in a distributed networked system is considered in a discrete-event formalism where the system is modeled as a finite-state automaton. The s...
Two important performance metrics in collaborative systems are local and remote response times. Previous analytical and simulation work has shown that these response times depend ...
As software Distributed Shared Memory(DSM) systems become attractive on larger clusters, the focus of attention moves toward improving the reliability of systems. In this paper, w...
