Abstract. Renewed interest in ALOHA-based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols stems from their proposed applications to wireless ad hoc and sensor networks that require distribut...
Abstract. The emergence of computing environments where smart devices are embedded pervasively in the physical world has made possible many interesting applications and has trigger...
Data intensive applications on clusters often require requests quickly be sent to the node managing the desired data. In many applications, one must look through a sorted tree str...
We introduce the distributed gradient clock synchronization problem. As in traditional distributed clock synchronization, we consider a network of nodes equipped with hardware clo...
