— Mobility models are widely used in simulation-based performance analyses of mobile networks. However, there is a trade-off between simplicity and realistic movement patterns. S...
Abstract— The theory of promises describes policy governed services, in a framework of completely autonomous agents, which assist one another by voluntary cooperation alone. We p...
It is difficult to maintain the exact location of mobile objects due to the limited resources in a mobile network. A consequence of this problem is that the update cost for a locat...
—In a sensor network, data routing is tightly coupled to the needs of a sensing task, and hence the application semantics. This paper introduces the novel idea of information-dir...
