Existing works have approached the problem of reliable transport in ad-hoc networks by proposing mechanisms to improve TCP's performance over such networks. In this paper we ...
The basic system timer facilities used by applications and OS kernels for scheduling timeouts and periodic activities have remained largely unchanged for decades, while hardware a...

Not all operating systems are created equal. Contrasting traditional monolithic kernels, there is a class of systems called microkernels more prevalent in embedded systems like ce...
