Investigating the Energy Consumption of a Wireless Network Interface in an Ad Hoc Networking Environment

by Laura Marie Feeney, Martin Nilsson - In IEEE Infocom , 2001
"... Energy-aware design and evaluation of network protocols requires knowledge of the energy consumption behavior of actual wireless interfaces. But little practical information is available about the energy consumption behavior of well-known wireless network interfaces and device specifications do not ..."

Cognitive networks

by Ryan W. Thomas, Luiz A. DaSilva, Allen B. MacKenzie - IN PROC. OF IEEE DYSPAN 2005 , 2005
"... This paper presents a definition and framework for a novel type of adaptive data network: the cognitive network. In a cognitive network, the collection of elements that make up the network observes network conditions and then, using prior knowledge gained from previous interactions with the network ..."

is needed to translate the user’s end-to-end goals into a form understandable by the cognitive process. The cognitive network also depends on a Software Adaptable Network that has both an external interface accessible to the cognitive network and network status sensors. These devices are used to provide

Vogels, U-Net: a user-level network interface for parallel and distributed computing, in:

by Anindya Basu , Vineet Buch , Werner Vogels , Thorsten Von Eicken - Proceedings of the 15th ACM Symposium on Operating System Principles, ACM, , 1995
"... Abstract The U-Net communication architecture provides processes with a virtual view of a network device to enable user-level access to high-speed communication devices. The architecture, implemented on standard workstations using off-the-shelf ATM communication hardware, removes the kernel from th ..."

Design and Implementation or the Sun Network Filesystem

by Russel Sandberg, David Goldberg, Steve Kleiman, Dan Walsh, Bob Lyon , 1985
"... this paper we discuss the design and implementation of the/'fiesystem interface in the kernel and the NF$ virtual/'fiesystem. We describe some interesting design issues and how they were resolved, and point out some of the shortcomings of the current implementation. We conclude with some i ..."

Systems Competition and Network Effects

by Michael L. Katz, Carl Shapiro - JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVES—VOLUME 8, NUMBER 2—SPRING 1994—PAGES 93–115 , 1994
"... Many products have little or no value in isolation, but generate value when combined with others. Examples include: nuts and bolts, which together provide fastening services; home audio or video components and programming, which together provide entertainment services; automobiles, repair parts and ..."

photographic services. These are all examples of products that are strongly complementary, although they need not be consumed in fixed proportions. We describe them as forming systems, which refers to collections of two or more components together with an interface that allows the components to work together

A Delay-Tolerant Network Architecture for Challenged Internets

by Kevin Fall , 2003
"... The highly successful architecture and protocols of today’s Internet may operate poorly in environments characterized by very long delay paths and frequent network partitions. These problems are exacerbated by end nodes with limited power or memory resources. Often deployed in mobile and extreme env ..."

environments lacking continuous connectivity, many such networks have their own specialized protocols, and do not utilize IP. To achieve interoperability between them, we propose a network architecture and application interface structured around optionally-reliable asynchronous message forwarding, with limited

Maté: A Tiny Virtual Machine for Sensor Networks

by Philip Levis, David Culler , 2002
"... Composed of tens of thousands of tiny devices with very limited resources ("motes"), sensor networks are subject to novel systems problems and constraints. The large number of motes in a sensor network means that there will often be some failing nodes; networks must be easy to repopu-late. ..."

for sensor networks. Mat~'s high-level in-terface allows complex programs to be very short (under 100 bytes), reducing the energy cost of transmitting new programs. Code is broken up into small capsules of 24 instructions, which can self-replicate through the network. Packet sending and reception

OpenFlow: Enabling Innovation in Campus Networks

by Nick McKeown , Tom Anderson, Hari Balakrishnan, Guru Parulkar, Larry Peterson, Jennifer Rexford, Scott Shenker, Jonathan Turner , 2008
"... This whitepaper proposes OpenFlow: a way for researchers to run experimental protocols in the networks they use every day. OpenFlow is based on an Ethernet switch, with an internal flow-table, and a standardized interface to add and remove flow entries. Our goal is to encourage networking vendors ..."

Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures

by Roy Thomas Fielding , 2000
"... The World Wide Web has succeeded in large part because its software architecture has been designed to meet the needs of an Internet-scale distributed hypermedia system. The Web has been iteratively developed over the past ten years through a series of modifications to the standards that define its ..."

the architectural design of network-based application software through principled use of architectural constraints, thereby obtaining the functional, performance, and social properties desired of an architecture. An architectural style is a named, coordinated set of architectural constraints. This dissertation

Versatile Low Power Media Access for Wireless Sensor Networks

by Joseph Polastre, Jason Hill, David Culler , 2004
"... We propose B-MAC, a carrier sense media access protocol for wireless sensor networks that provides a flexible interface to obtain ultra low power operation, effective collision avoidance, and high channel utilization. To achieve low power operation, B-MAC employs an adaptive preamble sampling scheme ..."
