Cooperative forwarding in wireless networks has shown to yield rate and diversity gains, but it incurs energy costs borne by the cooperating nodes. In this paper we consider an inc...
Abstract--To take advantage of the broadcast nature of wireless communication, a number of opportunistic routing techniques have recently been proposed. In order to manage the extr...
Data intensive applications, e.g. in life sciences, pose new efficiency challenges to the service composition problem. Since today computing power is mainly increased by multiplica...
A link is an unreliable FIFO channel. As we mentioned earlier, it is an abstraction of a point-topoint wire or of a simple broadcast LAN. It is unreliable because noise or other ph...
In backbone networks, the line cards that drive the links between neighboring routers consume a large amount of energy. Since these networks are typically overprovisioned, selecti...
