In this paper, we take an availability-centric view on quality of service (QoS) and propose a model and mechanisms for studying the effectiveness of realistic replication schemes ...
Caching frequently accessed data items on the client side is an effective technique to improve the system performance in wireless networks. Due to cache size limitations, cache re...
The characteristics of ad hoc networks naturally encourage the deployment of distributed services. Although current networks implement group communication methods, they do not sup...
Recent results indicate scalability problems for flat ad hoc networks. To address the issue of scalability, self-organizing hierarchical ad hoc architectures are being investigat...
The vision of nomadic computing with its ubiquitous access has stimulated much interest in the Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) technology. However, its proliferation strongly dep...
