Face is a well-known localized routing protocol for ad hoc and sensor networks which guarantees delivery of the message as long as a path exists between the source and the destination. This is achieved by employing a left/right hand rule to route the messa ...
Group communication in partitionable systems has been the focus of many research activities over the last decade. Fault-tolerant applications in a partitionable system model generally rely on two basic services: a group membership service and a reliable mu ...
The current Social Web is centralized. Large information silos store all the users’ profiles, their social links and much of the other personal data. In return for the reliable service the users allow their data and activities to be data mined by the servi ...
The problem of the choice of the order parameter of the Landau expansion of proper ferroelectrics is discussed. The expansion with respect to the (i) electric displacement, (ii) polarization, (iii) ferroelectric contribution to the polarization, (iv) "orde ...
The perfectly-synchronized round-based model provides the powerful abstraction of crash-stop failures with atomic and synchronous message delivery. This abstraction makes distributed programming very easy.We describe a technique to automatically transform ...
We consider source coding over Aref networks. In particular we consider the following two problems: (i) multicasting correlated sources to a set of receivers, (ii) broadcasting sources to their respective receivers. For the first problem we show necessary ...
Networks on Chips (NoCs) are required to tackle the increasing delay and poor scalability issues of bus-based communication architectures. Many of today’s NoC designs are based on single path routing. By utilizing multiple paths for routing, congestion in ...
In this paper we examine possible ways that feedback can be used, in the context of systems with network coding capabilities. We illustrate, through a number of simple examples, that use of feedback can be employed for parameter adaptation to satisfy QoS r ...

Wireless ad hoc networks pose several significant challenges: devices are unreliable; deployments are unpredictable; and communication is erratic. One proposed solution is Virtual Infrastructure, an abstraction in which unpredictable and unreliable devices ...
