A review of methods for the assessment of prediction errors in conservation presence/absence models.
- Environmental Conservation
, 1997
"... Summary Predicting the distribution of endangered species from habitat data is frequently perceived to be a useful technique. Models that predict the presence or absence of a species are normally judged by the number of prediction errors. These may be of two types: false positives and false negativ ..."

negatives. Many of the prediction errors can be traced to ecological processes such as unsaturated habitat and species interactions. Consequently, if prediction errors are not placed in an ecological context the results of the model may be misleading. The simplest, and most widely used, measure
Versatile Low Power Media Access for Wireless Sensor Networks
, 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 ..."

scheme to reduce duty cycle and minimize idle listening. B-MAC supports on-the-fly reconfiguration and provides bidirectional interfaces for system services to optimize performance, whether it be for throughput, latency, or power conservation. We build an analytical model of a class of sensor network
A generalized processor sharing approach to flow control in integrated services networks: The single-node case
- IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING
, 1993
"... The problem of allocating network resources to the users of an integrated services network is investigated in the context of rate-based flow control. The network is assumed to be a virtual circuit, connection-based packet network. We show that the use of Generalized processor Sharing (GPS), when co ..."

conserving. We present a practical packet-by-packet service discipline, PGPS (first proposed by Deme5 Shenker, and Keshav [7] under the name of Weighted Fair Queueing), that closely approximates GPS. This allows us to relate ressdta for GPS to the packet-by-packet scheme in a precise manner. In this paper
GloMoSim: A Library for Parallel Simulation of Large-scale Wireless Networks
- in Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Simulation
, 1998
"... A number of library-based parallel and sequential network simulators have been designed. This paper describes a library, called GloMoSim (for Global Mobile system Simulator), for parallel simulation of wireless networks. GloMoSim has been designed to be extensible and composable: the communication p ..."

implementation of GloMoSim can be executed using a variety of conservative synchronization protocols, which include the null message and conditional event algorithms. This paper describes the GloMoSim library, addresses a number of issues relevant to its parallelization, and presents a set of experimental
Tinysec: A link layer security architecture for wireless sensor networks
- in Proc of the 2nd Int’l Conf on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems
"... We introduce TinySec, the first fully-implemented link layer security architecture for wireless sensor networks. In our design, we leverage recent lessons learned from design vulnerabilities in security protocols for other wireless networks such as 802.11b and GSM. Conventional security protocols te ..."

tend to be conservative in their security guarantees, typically adding 16–32 bytes of overhead. With small memories, weak processors, limited energy, and 30 byte packets, sensor networks cannot afford this luxury. TinySec addresses these extreme resource constraints with careful design; we explore
Medium Access Control with Coordinated Adaptive Sleeping for Wireless Sensor Networks
- IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking
, 2004
"... 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 ..."

.11 in several ways: energy conservation and self-configuration are primary goals, while per-node fairness and latency are less important. S-MAC uses a few novel techniques to reduce energy consumption and support self-configuration. It enables low-duty-cycle operation in a multihop network. Nodes form virtual

Relational Databases for Querying XML Documents: Limitations and Opportunities
, 1999
"... XML is fast emerging as the dominant standard for representing data in the World Wide Web. Sophisticated query engines that allow users to effectively tap the data stored in XML documents will be crucial to exploiting the full power of XML. While there has been a great deal of activity recently prop ..."

An Effective Conservation Result for Nonstandard Arithmetic
, 1999
"... We prove that a nonstandard extension of arithmetic is effectively conservative over Peano arithmetic by using an internal version of a definable ultrapower. By the same method we show that a certain extension of the nonstandard theory with a saturation principle has the same proof-theoretic strengt ..."
