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...
— Data aggregation protocols can reduce the cost of communication, thereby extending the lifetime of sensor networks. Prior work on data aggregation protocols has focused on tree...
Detection of defective pixels that develop on-line is a vital part of fault tolerant schemes for repairing imagers during operation. This paper presents a new algorithm for the id...

Slowdown, defined as the ratio of a request’s queueing delay to its service time, is accepted as an important quality of service metric of Internet servers. In this paper, we i...

Distinct from wireless ad hoc networks, wireless sensor networks are data-centric, application-oriented, collaborative, and energyconstrained in nature. In this paper, formulate t...
