Many wireless sensor network protocols are employing gossipbased message dissemination, where nodes probabilistically forward messages, to reduce message overhead. We are concerne...
A fundamental issue in the design of a wireless sensor network is to devise mechanisms to make efficient use of its energy, and thus, extend its lifetime. Due to the paramount imp...

Byzantine fault tolerant systems behave correctly when no more than f out of 3f + 1 replicas fail. When there are more than f failures, traditional BFT protocols make no guarantee...
Abstract--To ensure state synchronization of signalling operations, many signaling protocol designs choose to establish "soft" state that expires if it is not refreshed. ...
As research in context recognition moves towards more maturity and real life applications, appropriate and reliable performance metrics gain importance. This paper focuses on the ...
