We present a new technique, early phase termination, for eliminating idle processors in parallel computations that use barrier synchronization. This technique simply terminates ea...
Epidemic routing has been proposed as a robust transmission scheme for sparse mobile ad hoc networks. Under the assumption of no contention, epidemic routing has the minimum end-t...
In this paper, we analyze a wireless LAN hot-spot, based on the IEEE 802.11b protocol, and more specifically we address the issue of defining proper pricing strategies, from bot...
For data-collection applications in sensor networks, it is important to ensure all data sources have equal (or weighted) access to network bandwidth so that the base stations rece...
We introduce a new class of games, congestion games with failures (CGFs), which extends the class of congestion games to allow for facility failures. In a basic CGF (BCGF) agents ...
