We wish to endow the manifold M of smooth curves in lRn with a Riemannian metric that allows us to treat continuous morphs (homotopies) between two curves c0 and c1 as trajectorie...
IT today is driven by the trend of increasing scale and complexity. Utility and Grid computing models, PlanetLab, and traditional data centers, are reaching the scale of thousands...
— Even though multiple non-overlapped channels exist in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrum, most IEEE 802.11-based multi-hop ad hoc networks today use only a single channel. As a resul...
—It is well known that IEEE 802.11 provides a physical layer multirate capability and, hence, MAC layer mechanisms are needed to exploit this capability. Several solutions have b...
