Energy consumption of mobile readers is becoming an important issue as applications of RFID systems pervade different aspects of our lives. Surprisingly, however, these systems ar...
In this paper, we characterize the performance of an important class of scheduling schemes, called Greedy Maximal Scheduling (GMS), for multi-hop wireless networks. While a lower ...
When integrating data from autonomous sources, exact matches of data items that represent the same real world object often fail due to a lack of common keys. Yet in many cases str...
In a system proposed by Plaxton, Rajaraman and Richa (PRR), the expected cost of accessing a replicated object was proved to be asymptotically optimal for a static set of nodes an...
We study the performance of reliable and unreliable allnode broadcast over ad-hoc networks that use contentionbased channel access. To obtain analytical results while preserving h...
