Delaunay triangulation (DT) is a useful geometric structure for networking applications. In this paper we investigate the design of join, leave, and maintenance protocols to const...
Designing applications with timeliness requirements in environments of uncertain synchrony is known to be a difficult problem. In this paper, we follow the perspective of timing ...
