Materials for an exploratory theory of the network society.
- The British Journal of Sociology
, 2000
"... ABSTRACT This article aims at proposing some elements for a grounded theor y of the network society. The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identi ed by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in v ..."

I hope the reader will be benevolent enough to use what s/he nds useful in this effort, and discard the rest. I also hope that we all end up adopting the notion of disposable
Symphony: A Scheduler for Client-Server Applications on Coprocessor-based Heterogeneous Clusters
"... Abstract—Coprocessors such as GPUs are increasingly being deployed in clusters to process scientific and compute-intensive jobs. In this work, we study if GPU-based heterogeneous clusters can benefit client-server applications. Specifically, we consider the practical situation where multiple client- ..."

Abstract Multichannel Communication in Contiki's Low-power IPv6 Stack
"... Vast majority of wireless appliances used in household, industry and medical field share the ISM frequency band. These devices need to coexist and thus are challenged to tolerate their mutual interference. One way of dealing with this is by using frequency hopping; where the device changes its radio ..."

Efficient Mobile Data Collection with Mobile Collect
"... Abstract—The main task of most deployed wireless sensor networks is data collection. While a number of solutions have been designed for static networks, there are currently no widely used data collection algorithms for mobile sensor networks. In this paper, we concentrate on scenarios where many nod ..."
