Efficient schemes for deploying and maintaining widearea services and accessing such services are essential if the Internet is to sustain itself as the communication medium for b...
A wide range of security services may be available to applications in a heterogeneous computer network environment. Resource Management Systems (RMSs) responsible for assigning co...
We study the issue of convergence of user rates and resource prices under a family of rate control schemes called dual algorithms with arbitrary communication delays. We first con...
In this paper, we apply the auction-based theories in economics to camera networks. We develop a set of auction protocols to do camera active control (pan/tilt/zoom) intelligently...
This paper presents market-based macroprogramming (MBM), a new paradigm for achieving globally efficient behavior in sensor networks. Rather than programming the individual, low-...
