This paper describes a group communication system called the timewheel group communication system that has been designed for a timed asynchronous distributed system model. The tim...
Clock synchronization is highly desirable in many sensor networking applications. It enables event ordering, coordinated actuation, energy-efficient communication and duty cyclin...
—IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) uses a binary exponential backoff algorithm to arbitrate simultaneous channel access by multiple stations. When a station sen...
—In this paper we present C2Cfs - a decentralized collective caching architecture for distributed filesystems. C2Cfs diverges from the traditional client-server model and advoca...
Control systems are usually modeled by differential equations describing how physical phenomena can be influenced by certain control parameters or inputs. Although these models ar...
