Recently, several MAC protocols using directional antennas have been proposed for ad hoc networks, which are mainly evaluated by computer simulations. This paper develops a MAC pr...
Suppose two entities that do not trust each other want to exchange some arbitrary data over a public channel. A fair exchange protocol ensures that both parties get what they want ...
Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) provide the technical platform for efficient information sharing in emergency and rescue operations. Some the data present on the scene is highly c...

Truly autonomic networks ultimately require self-modifying, evolving protocol software. Otherwise humans must intervene in every situation that has not been anticipated at design t...
Abstract. This paper presents Combine, a distributed directory protocol for shared objects, designed for large-scale distributed systems. Directory protocols support move requests,...
