In this paper, we propose two mechanisms, differentiation by backoff exponent and differentiation by the size of contention window, for IEEE 802.15.4 sensor networks to provide mul...
We introduce calling context graphs and various static and theorem proving based analyses that together provide a powerful method for proving termination of programs written in fea...
Abstract. In recent years, protocols have been developed to ensure secure communications over the Internet, e.g., the secure sockets layer (SSL) and secure electronic transaction (...
This paper investigates the effects of demand risk on the performance of supply chain in continuous time setting. The inventory level has been modeled as a jump-diffusion process ...
In this paper we test whether a correlation exists between the optimal mutation rate and problem difficulty. We find that the range of optimal mutation rates is inversely proporti...
