XML-based data dissemination networks are rapidly gaining momentum. In these networks XML content is routed from data producers to data consumers throughout an overlay network of ...
— Checkpointing is an indispensable technique to provide fault tolerance for long-running high-throughput applications like those running on desktop grids. This paper argues that...

In a realistic sensor network, in particular with a nonuniform deployment, sensor nodes inevitably have varying workloads. This causes a natural problem that some sensor nodes are...
Self-stabilization is a strong property which guarantees that a network always resume a correct behavior starting from an arbitrary initial state. Weaker guarantees have later bee...
k-mutual exclusion is an important problem for resourceintensive peer-to-peer applications ranging from aggregation to file downloads. In order to be practically useful, k-mutual...
—Many large-scale distributed systems can benefit from a service that allows them to select among alternative nodes based on their relative network positions. A variety of appro...
— In this paper, we propose a novel duty cycling algorithm for large-scale dense wireless sensor networks. The proposed algorithm is based on a social behavior of nodes in the se...
As distributed real-time applications gain in popularity, a key challenge is to allocate resources so that diverse realtime requirements (including non-real-time applications), di...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are employed in many applications in order to collect data. One key challenge is to minimize energy consumption to prolong network lifetime. A sche...
