Towards an Active Network Architecture

by David L. Tennenhouse, David J. Wetherall - Computer Communication Review , 1996
"... Active networks allow their users to inject customized programs into the nodes of the network. An extreme case, in which we are most interested, replaces packets with "capsules" -- program fragments that are executed at each network router/switch they traverse. Active architectures permit ..."

Adaptive clustering for mobile wireless networks

by Chunhung Richard Lin, Mario Gerla - IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications , 1997
"... This paper describes a self-organizing, multihop, mobile radio network, which relies on a code division access scheme for multimedia support. In the proposed network architecture, nodes are organized into nonoverlapping clusters. The clusters are independently controlled and are dynamically reconfig ..."

An Energy-Efficient MAC Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

by Wei Ye, John Heidemann, Deborah Estrin , 2002
"... This paper proposes S-MAC, a medium-access control (MAC) protocol designed for wireless sensor networks. Wireless sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing devices. A network of these devices will collaborate for a common application such as environmental monitoring. We expect senso ..."

Cognitive Radio: Brain-Empowered Wireless Communications

by Simon Haykin , 2005
"... Cognitive radio is viewed as a novel approach for improving the utilization of a precious natural resource: the radio electromagnetic spectrum. The cognitive radio, built on a software-defined radio, is defined as an intelligent wireless communication system that is aware of its environment and use ..."

An Adaptive Energy-Efficient MAC Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

by Tijs van Dam, Koen Langendoen - SENSYS'03 , 2003
"... In this paper we describe T-MAC, a contention-based Medium Access Control protocol for wireless sensor networks. Applications for these networks have some characteristics (low message rate, insensitivity to latency) that can be exploited to reduce energy consumption by introducing an active/sleep du ..."

On agent-based software engineering

by Nicholas R. Jennings, Michael Wooldridge - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE , 2000
"... Agent-oriented techniques represent an exciting new means of analysing, designing and building complex software systems. They have the potential to significantly improve current practice in software engineering and to extend the range of applications that can feasibly be tackled. Yet, to date, there ..."
Abstract - Cited by 627 (25 self) - Add to MetaCart
) agent-oriented approaches represent a genuine advance over the current state of the art for engineering complex systems. Following on from this view, the major issues raised by adopting an agent-oriented approach to software engineering are highlighted and discussed.

Foundations for the Study of Software Architecture

by Dewayne E. Perry, Alexander L. Wolf - ACM SIGSOFT SOFTWARE ENGINEERING NOTES , 1992
"... The purpose of this paper is to build the foundation for software architecture. We first develop an intuition for software architecture by appealing to several well-established architectural disciplines. On the basis of this intuition, we present a model of software architec-ture that consists of th ..."
