Synchronization is widely considered as an important service in distributed systems which may simplify protocol design. Phase clock is a general synchronization tool that provides ...
Recent advances in micro-electromechanical (MEMS) technology have led to the development of small, lowcost, and low-power sensors. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are large-scale ...

We introduce the distributed gradient clock synchronization problem. As in traditional distributed clock synchronization, we consider a network of nodes equipped with hardware clo...
In South-East Asia, huge swarms of fireflies synchronously emit light flashes to attract mating partners. The underlying principle can be used to implement a robust and scalable d...
