Heterogeneous base stations (e.g. picocells, microcells, femtocells and distributed antennas) will become increasingly essential for cellular network capacity and coverage. Up unt...
Abstract—Today’s wirelessly networked embedded systems underlie a vast array of electronic devices, performing computation, communication, and input/output. A major design goal...
The diffusion of innovations has long been a research domain in IS research. Yet, there is no sound theory nor practice to fully understand the complex mechanisms behind networks ...
Aging effects, environmental changes, thermal drifts, and soft and hard faults affect physical systems by changing their nature and behavior over time. To cope with a process evolu...
Integrating p2p services in multi-hop ad hoc networks is today a hot topic. General multi-hop , and pervasive systems in particular, can greatly benefit from high-level middleware...
