In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), a good sensor deployment method is vital to the quality of service (QoS) provided by WSNs. This QoS depends on the coverage of the monitoring a...
Embedded real-time systems are becoming increasingly complex due to ever increasing size and functionality so that complexity management is of growing importance, especially in de...
Optimistically Terminating Consensus (OTC) is a variant of Consensus that decides if all correct processes propose the same value. It is surprisingly easy to implement: processes ...
Recently, there have been proposals for scaling-up a database system using lazy replication. In these proposals, system scale-up is achieved through the addition of secondary site...
In this paper we use game theory to study nodes’ behavior in peer-to-peer networks when nodes receive service based on their reputation. Reputation is used as a mechanism to inc...
