Modular programming enjoys many well-known advantages: readability, maintainability, separate development and compilation. However, the composition of modular units (components) s...
—In-network aggregation has become a promising technique for improving the energy efficiency of wireless sensor networks. Aggregating data at various nodes in the network result...
Distributed real-time systems require a predictable and verifiable mechanism to control the communication medium. Current real-time communication protocols are typically independe...
—The paper addresses the maximal lifetime problem in sensor-target surveillance networks. Given a set of sensors and targets in an Euclidean plane, each sensor can watch all targ...
