Cross-layer optimization aims at improving the performance of network users operating in a time-varying, error-prone wireless environment. However, current solutions often rely on...
802.11 wireless mesh networks are ubiquitous, but suffer from severe performance degradations due to poor synergy between the 802.11 CSMA MAC protocol and higher layers. Several s...
In this paper, we describe a secure group communication protocol for a fault-tolerant synchronous ring. Our protocol, named Secure Synchronous Ring Protocol (SSRP), integrates a se...
In this paper we present a novel communication layer for distributed heterogenous environments typical found in the area of Grid computing. This communication layer is used as par...
