: This is a position paper introducing blob computing: A Blob is a generic primitive used to structure a uniform computing substrate into an easier-to-program parallel virtual mach...
When ubiquitous computing devices access a contextawareness service, such as a location service, they need some assurance that the quality of the information received is trustwort...
We study stochastic models to mitigate the risk of poor Quality-of-Service (QoS) in computational markets. Consumers who purchase services expect both price and performance guaran...
Abstract. We propose a novel randomized algorithm for computing a dominating set based clustering in wireless ad-hoc and sensor networks. The algorithm works under a model which ca...
We consider the problem of assigning transmission powers to the nodes of a wireless network in such a way that all the nodes of the network are connected by bidirectional links and...
