Just as “classical” information technology rests on a foundation built of interconnected
information-processing systems, quantum information technology (QIT) must do the same. A …

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) monitor dynamic environments that change rapidly over
time. This dynamic behavior is either caused by external factors or initiated by the system …

We examine multiple independent sources providing status updates to a monitor through
simple queues. We formulate an age of information (AoI) timeliness metric and derive a …

Rapid changes of the biosphere observed in recent years are caused by both small and
large scale drivers, like shifts in temperature, transformations in land-use, or changes in the …

As we are moving towards the Internet of Things (IoT), the number of sensors deployed
around the world is growing at a rapid pace. Market research has shown a significant growth …

Critical infrastructures such as healthcare, intelligent transportation, and home automation
adapt billions of smart IoT devices to handle real-time data effectively in the digital era. The …

Increasingly ubiquitous communication networks and connectivity via portable devices have
engendered a host of applications in which sources, for example people and environmental …

In this paper, we consider a scenario where an energy harvesting sensor continuously
monitors a system and sends time-stamped status updates to a destination. The destination …

The distributed nature and dynamic topology of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs)
introduces very special requirements in routing protocols that should be met. The most …

Energy efficiency and energy balancing are crucial research issues as per routing protocol
designing for self-organized wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Many literatures used the …
