—Modular software, in which strongly-separated units of functionality can be independently added to and removed from a node’s running software, offers a promising approach to e...
—Controlled sink mobility has been shown to be very beneficial in lifetime prolongation of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) by avoiding the typical hot-spot problem near the sink...
—Available algorithms for the distributed construction of connected dominating sets in mobile ad hoc networks are inapplicable or suffer from a high complexity. This is mainly du...
