Abstract—Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent an important class of networked robotic applications that must be both highly dependable and autonomous. This paper addresses s...
We study, from the competitive analysis perspective, the trade off between communication cost and delay cost (or simply the sendor-wait dilemma) on a hierarchy (rooted tree). The p...
This paper presents an efficient distributed self-monitoring mechanism for a class of wireless sensor networks used for monitoring and surveillance. In these applications, it is i...
Recently mobile agent technology has been recognised as a potential tool for realising distributed network fault management. The autonomy and mobility of such agents can help ensu...
Abstract. In wireless sensor networks where sensors are geographically deployed in 3D spaces, a mobile robot is required to travel to each sensor in order to download the data. The...
