We investigate the optimal performance of dense sensor networks by studying the joint source-channel coding problem. The overall goal of the sensor network is to take measurements...
Our system, based on a multiagent framework called collaborative understanding of distributed knowledge (CUDK), is designed with the overall goal of balancing agents' conceptu...
This paper envisions a distributed network storage service with Quality-ofService (QoS) guarantees, and describes its architecture and key mechanisms. When fully realized, this se...
