Clock synchronization is highly desirable in many sensor networking applications. It enables event ordering, coordinated actuation, energy-efficient communication and duty cyclin...
Hardware-timestamping is essential for achieving tight synchronization in networking applications. This mechanism is selectively used on few high-cost tailored systems. Actual μP...
Abstract. We provide a framework for distributed systems that impose timing constraints on their executions. We propose a timed model of communicating finite-state machines, which...
Failure detectors are a service that provides (approximate) information about process crashes in a distributed system. The well-known “eventually perfect” failure detector, 3P...
—Given a set of sensor nodes V where each node wants to broadcast a message to all its neighbors that are within a certain broadcasting range, the local broadcasting problem is t...
