In this paper, new time-varying wireless channel models that capture both the space and time variations of longterm and short-term fading wireless networks are developed. The proposed models are based on stochastic ...

"Focusing on heterogeneous networks, this book addresses important resource management and security issues found in networks and uses theoretical tools to model them. Although it explores network design and management from ...

The rapid growth of telecontrol systems is one of the major trends in today's network-oriented community. The implementation of generic frameworks, consisting of reusable components that can form the basis for the development ...

Wireless data broadcasting systems are typically assigned limited operational bandwidth due to their usually wide spatial coverage. This limitation raises issues of increased client waiting times, especially as the total ...

This paper presents the simulation results performed of a multirate adaptive notch filter with adaptive bandwidth controller for disk drives. The resonant modes of a disk drive may be uncertain and vary between units, and ...

Vehicular ad hoc networks have emerged recently as a platform to support intelligent inter-vehicle communication and improve traffic safety and performance. The road-constrained and high mobility of the vehicles, their ...

A server farm is examined, where a number of servers are used to offer a service to impatient customers. Every completed request generates a certain amount of profit, running servers consume electricity for power and ...

The View Generator (VG) is a system that provides the necessary components for the definition, materialization, storage, maintenance and re-use of views over remote Web-accessible databases. Through the system, clients ...
