We present a simple model of self-organization for sensor networks that addresses two conflicting requirements: hazard situations should be reported to a sink node with as little ...
One of the mostsoughtaftersoftware innovation of thisdecade is the construction of systems using off-the-shelf workstations that actually deliver, and even surpass, the power and ...
We study an approximation for the zero-variance change of measure to estimate the probability of a rare event in a continuous-time Markov chain. The rare event occurs when the cha...

We present a method of integrating constrained sequence (CS) and error control (EC) codes for digital communication systems. This technique is based on multimode coding where a si...
Abstract. Wireless sensor networks come of age and start moving out of the laboratory into the field. As the number of deployments is increasing the need for an efficient and relia...
