—One of the major applications of wireless ad hoc networks is to extend the Internet coverage and support pervasive and efficient data dissemination and sharing. To reduce data a...
In this paper, we present an analytical model for the approximate calculation of the throughput and end-toend delay performance in single hop and multihop IEEE 802.11 networks unde...
This paper attempts to articulate the general role of infrastructure for multi-agent systems (MAS), and why infrastructure is a particularly critical issue if we are to increase th...
Embedded devices like smart cards can now run multiple interacting applications. A particular challenge in this domain is to dynamically integrate diverse security policies. In th...
Whereas traditional databases manage only deterministic information, many applications that use databases involve uncertain data. This paper presents a Probabilistic Tree Data Bas...
