Protocol conversion involves the use of a converter to control communication between two or more protocols such that desired system-level specifications can be satisfied. We invest...
Time information is critical for a variety of applications in distributed environments that facilitate pervasive computing and communication. This work describes and evaluates a no...
We study the fifo and causal multicast problem, two group-communication abstractions that deliver messages in an order consistent with their context. With fifo multicast, the co...
Most people-centric delay tolerant networks have been shown to exhibit power-law behavior. Analysis of the temporal connectivity graph of such networks reveals the existence of hu...
