— The proliferation of wireless and mobile devices has fostered the demand of context aware applications, in which location is often viewed as one of the most significant context...
— In mobile wireless ad hoc networks (MANETs), layering is frequently broken to cope with changes on the medium. Layering is also violated in order to implement autonomic behavio...

— This paper discusses a joint decentralized clustering and ranging algorithm for wireless ad-hoc sensor networks. Each sensor uses a random waiting timer and local criteria to d...
Ad hoc networks are exposed more than traditional networks to security threats due to their mobility and open architecture aspects. In addition, any dysfunction due to badly congu...
We show how the database community’s notion of a generic query interface for data aggregation can be applied to ad-hoc networks of sensor devices. As has been noted in the senso...
