In contention-based sensor networks, nodes compete to access a shared channel for data transmission and collision is a common challenge. For power conservation, periodical active/s...
Fault tolerant distributed protocols typically utilize a homogeneous fault model, either fail-crash or fail-Byzantine, where all processors are assumed to fail in the same manner....
Time-triggered systems are distributed systems in which the nodes are independently-clocked but maintain synchrony with one another. Time-triggered protocols depend on the synchro...
Tournament selection has been widely used and studied in evolutionary algorithms. To supplement the study of tournament selection, this paper provides several models describing th...
Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are a virulent type of attack on the availability of networks’ intended services and resources. Defense against DoS attacks has been built into th...
