Large-scale distributed systems provide an attractive scalable infrastructure for network applications. However, the loosely-coupled nature of this environment can make data acces...
—We present a novel cost-effective multicast capable optical cross connect (MC-OXC) node architecture which improves efficiency of optical power by constraining splitting to only...

— In this paper, two different feedback configurations of the relay channel are investigated. Specifically, in our first configuration, the source node in a relay channel is ...
— Given a fixed network where each node has some given initial value, and under the constraint that each node receives noisy transmissions from its immediate neighbors, we provi...
—In a broadcasting task, source node wants to send the same message to all the other nodes in the network. Existing solutions range from connected dominating set (CDS) based for ...
Sensor networks, with their ad hoc deployments, node mobility, and wireless communication, pose serious challenges for developing provably correct and efficient applications. A po...
