: We propose a location-service to assist location-based routing protocols, realised through our Associativity-Based Clustering protocol. The main goal of our scheme, which employs...
Security in wireless ad hoc networks is hard to achieve due to the vulnerability of its links, limited physical protection, and the absence of a centralized management point. Cons...
We propose a two-phase methodology for quantifying the performability (performance and availability) of cluster-based Internet services. In the first phase, evaluators use a fault...
Cluster-based servers can substantially increase performance when nodes cooperate to globally manage resources. However, in this paper we show that cooperation results in a substa...
