Abstract-Maintaining optimal consistency in a distributed system requires that nodes be always-on to synchronize information. Unfortunately, mobile devices such as laptops do not h...

Wireless LAN (WLAN) radios conserve energy by staying in sleep mode. With real-time applications like VoIP, it is not clear how much energy can be saved by this approach since pac...
In this paper, we investigate the use of limited infrastructure, in the form of wires, for improving the energy efficiency of a wireless sensor network. We call such a sensor netw...
We present a series of approximation algorithms for finding a small weakly-connected dominating set (WCDS) in a given graph to be used in clustering mobile ad hoc networks. The st...
Component-based architectures are the traditional approach cile application specific optimization with reusable abstractions in sensor networks. However, they frequently overwhelm ...
