In a MANET environment, communication links are unstable due to various reasons. Error rate is higher and bandwidth is smaller than fixed networks. Running conventional TCP protoco...
In this paper, we describe the integration of dynamic right-sizing — an automatic and scalable buffer management technique for enhancing TCP performance — into GridFTP, a sub...
We study stochastic models to mitigate the risk of poor Quality-of-Service (QoS) in computational markets. Consumers who purchase services expect both price and performance guaran...
Pointing is a natural way of communicating. Children in all cultures use pointing inherently. Attaching tags to our environment enables interaction by pointing. Visual tags are a g...
