In high energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So...
: Problem statement: For a sensor network comprising autonomous and self-organizing data sources, efficient similarity-based search for semantic-rich resources (such as video data)...
Abstract-- Recent work has demonstrated that readings provided by commodity sensor nodes are often of poor quality. In order to provide a valuable sensory infrastructure for monito...
While sensor networks are going to be deployed in diverse application specific contexts, one unifying view is to treat them essentially as distributed databases. The simplest mech...
—Topology control problems are concerned with the assignment of power levels to the nodes of an ad-hoc network so as to maintain a specified network topology while minimizing th...
