ABSTRACT: This work considers the problem of performing a set of N tasks on a set of P cooperating message-passing processors (P N). The processors use a group communication servi...
—Despite many technology advances, the limited computing power of sensors encumber them from taking part in service-oriented architectures. In recent years, the sensornetworking ...
Simple Integrated Media Access (SIMA) is a differentiated service scheme based on drop preference bits in every packet. The basic idea of the SIMA is to maximize the exploitation ...
—We consider data networks in which real-time/near real-time applications require not only successful transmission of packets from source to destination, but also specific end-to...
This paper claims that in its current use the term ‘network’ represents no more than a suggestive image of organizing in an age of spectacular context-crossing electronic tran...
