As functionality is added to an ageing piece of software, its original design and structure tends to erode. The underlying forces which cause such degradation have been the subject...
Aggregate traffic loads and topology in multi-hop wireless networks may vary slowly, permitting MAC protocols to `learn' how to spatially coordinate and adapt contention patte...
Most hardware description languages do not enforce determinacy, meaning that they may yield races. Race conditions pose a problem for the implementation, verification, and validat...

Recent advances in micro electro-mechanical systems and VLSI lithography have enabled the miniaturization of sensors and controllers. Such minitiarization facilitates the deployme...
— Wireless networks are characterized by bursty and location-dependent errors. Although many fair scheduling methods have been proposed to address these issues, most of them assu...
