— Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are seen as an essential technology to support future Pervasive Computing Scenarios and 4G networks. In a MANET, efficient support of multipoint...
We propose a peer-to-peer system that supports distributed virtual world applications. For these applications, the connections between directly neighboring peers are of the utmost ...
Abstract—In this paper, we present the implementation issues of a virtual backbone that supports the operations of the Uniform Quorum System (UQS) and the Randomized Database Gro...
Abstract— Large military ad hoc networks are often characterized by the interconnection of heterogeneous domains. The same trend is emerging in civilian MANETs (e.g., search and ...
Existing work has been focused on minimizing the number of relay nodes to maintain the connectivity of a sensor network. However, we believe replacing batteries for nodes or redepl...
