Three collision-avoidance protocols are analyzed that use omni-directional packet reception together with omnidirectional transmissions, directional transmissions, or a combinatio...
As energy-related costs have become a major economical factor for IT infrastructures and data-centers, companies and the research community are being challenged to find better an...
This paper addresses the issue of how to meet the strict timing constraints of (soft) real-time virtualized applications while the Virtual Machine (VM) hosting them is undergoing a...
Distributed estimation of an unknown signal is a common task in sensor networks. The scenario usually envisioned consists of several nodes, each making an observation correlated wi...
In this paper, we study and model a crash-recovery target and its failure detector’s probabilistic behavior. We extend Quality of Service (QoS) metrics to measure the recovery d...
