Distributed computing concerns environments in which many processors, located at different
sites, must operate in a noninterfering and cooperative manner. Each of the processors …

Due to slow advance in battery technology, power remains a bottleneck to limit wide
applications of mobile ad hoc and wireless sensor networks. Among all extensive studies on …

One of the potential benefits of distributed systems is their use in providing highly-available
services that are likely to be usable when needed. Availabilay is achieved through …

Consider a set of shared objects in a distributed network, where several copies of each
object may exist at any given time. To ensure both fast access to the objects as well as …

Matches between search queries and potential targets of such search queries are
automatically brokered by (i) comparing search criteria specified in the search queries with …

Landmark Routing is a set of algorithms for routing in communications networks of arbitrary
size. Landmark Routing is based on a new type of hierarchy, the Landmark Hierarchy. The …

Tracking strategies for mobile users in wireless networks are studied. In order to save the
cost of using the wireless links mobile users should not update their location whenever they …

A collection of clustering and decomposition techniques that make possible the construction
of sparse and locality-preserving representations for arbitrary networks is presented. The …

When you think about how far and fast computer science has progressed in recent years, it's
not hard to conclude that a seven-year old handbook may fall a little short of the kind of …

A distributed mobility management scheme using a class of uniform quorum systems (UQS)
is proposed for ad hoc networks. In the proposed scheme, location databases are stored in …
