— The IEEE 802.16 standard is providing support for Mesh networks of which two scheduling mechanisms (i.e., centralized scheduling and distributed scheduling) are proposed. Centr...
Although many multicast communication protocols have been recommended at IETF, reliable multicast communications currently rely on programs built at the application layer, e.g., m...
Most sensor network applications require quality of service guarantees on a network-wide basis, suggesting the need for global network cost optimization. The dynamic and nonunifor...
The literature on programming sensor networks has focused so far on g higher-level abstractions for expressing local node behavior. Kairos is a natural next step in sensor network ...
We propose a new configuration language, component and service library, and compiler that make it easier to develop efficient sensor network applications. Our goal is the constr...
