Abstract. This paper introduces Crankshaft, a MAC protocol specifically targeted at dense wireless sensor networks. Crankshaft employs node synchronisation and offset wake-up sched...
In this paper a model for scheduling in wide-area systems is described. The model is federated and utilizes a collection of local site schedulers that control the use of their res...
Designs for distributed systems must consider the possibility that failures will arise and must adopt specific failure detection strategies. We describe and analyze a self-regulat...

The conceptual structure of existing software systems is often implicit or non-existing in the source code. We prolightweight abstraction of intentional source-code views as a mea...
We present a variant of Pfair scheduling, which we call early-release fair (ERfair) scheduling. Like conventional Pfair scheduling, ERfair scheduling algorithms can be applied to ...
