Resource brokering in Grids is nowadays handled by resource brokers that require detailed knowledge of the state of the resources that they broker. In business settings, surrender...
Recent research in multi-site parallel job scheduling leverages user-provided estimates of job communication characteristics to effectively partition the job across multiple clus...
In ad-hoc Grids where the availability of resources and tasks changes over the time, distributing the tasks among the scarce resources in a balanced way is a challenging task. In ...
VoIP is one of the traditional application scenarios for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) in settings such as emergency response. Ideally, VoIP would be transparent to the network ...
Integrating sensor networks with general purpose IT infrastructure has been confirmed as a complex problem in the development and management of industrial sensor applications. Th...
Many wireless sensor network protocols are employing gossipbased message dissemination, where nodes probabilistically forward messages, to reduce message overhead. We are concerne...
Developing applications for sensor networks is a challenging task. Most programming systems narrowly focus on programming issues while ignoring that programming represents only a ...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are challenging types of networks where resources can be scarce. In particular, battery is often a very limited resource and the radio interface is...
