Mediators in the architecture of future information systems

by Gio Wiederhold - IEEE COMPUTER , 1992
"... The installation of high-speed networks using optical fiber and high bandwidth messsage forwarding gateways is changing the physical capabilities of information systems. These capabilities must be complemented with corresponding software systems advances to obtain a real benefit. Without smart softw ..."

Parallel database systems: the future of high performance database systems

by David J. Dewitt, Jim Gray - Communications of the ACM , 1992
"... Abstract: Parallel database machine architectures have evolved from the use of exotic hardware to a software parallel dataflow architecture based on conventional shared-nothing hardware. These new designs provide impressive speedup and scaleup when processing relational database queries. This paper ..."

Statistical mechanics of complex networks

by Réka Albert, Albert-lászló Barabási - Rev. Mod. Phys
"... Complex networks describe a wide range of systems in nature and society, much quoted examples including the cell, a network of chemicals linked by chemical reactions, or the Internet, a network of routers and computers connected by physical links. While traditionally these systems were modeled as ra ..."

The Cricket Location-Support System

by Nissanka B. Priyantha, Anit Chakraborty, Hari Balakrishnan , 2000
"... This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of Cricket, a location-support system for in-building, mobile, locationdependent applications. It allows applications running on mobile and static nodes to learn their physical location by using listeners that hear and analyze informatio ..."

Routing Techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey

by Jamal N. Al-karaki, Ahmed E. Kamal - IEEE Wireless Communications , 2004
"... Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of small nodes with sensing, computation, and wireless communications capabilities. Many routing, power management, and data dissemination protocols have been specifically designed for WSNs where energy awareness is an essential design issue. The focus, howeve ..."

, however, has been given to the routing protocols which might differ depending on the application and network architecture. In this paper, we present a survey of the state-of-the-art routing techniques in WSNs. We first outline the design challenges for routing protocols in WSNs followed by a comprehensive

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 ..."
Abstract - Cited by 937 (13 self) - Add to MetaCart
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

A Conceptual Framework and a Toolkit for Supporting the Rapid Prototyping of Context-Aware Applications

by Anind K. Dey, Gregory D. Abowd, Daniel Salber , 2001
"... Computing devices and applications are now used beyond the desktop, in diverse environments, and this trend toward ubiquitous computing is accelerating. One challenge that remains in this emerging research field is the ability to enhance the behavior of any application by informing it of the context ..."
