GPS-Less Low Cost Outdoor Localization for Very Small Devices.

by Nirupama Bulusu , John Heidemann , Deborah Estrin - IEEE Personal Communications Magazine, , 2000
"... Abstract-Instrumenting the physical world through large networks of wireless sensor nodes, particularly for applications like environmental monitoring of water and soil, requires that these nodes be very small, light, untethered and unobtrusive. The problem of localization, i.e., determining where ..."

in these networks. In this paper, we review localization techniques and evaluate the effectiveness of a very simple connectivity-metric method for localization in outdoor environments that makes use of the inherent radio-frequency (RF) communications capabilities of these devices. A fixed number of reference points

The design of an acquisitional query processor for sensor networks

by Samuel Madden, Michael J. Franklin, Joseph M. Hellerstein, Wei Hong - In SIGMOD , 2003
"... We discuss the design of an acquisitional query processor for data collection in sensor networks. Acquisitional issues are those that pertain to where, when, and how often data is physically acquired (sampled) and delivered to query processing operators. By focusing on the locations and costs of acq ..."

On the Security of Public Key Protocols

by Danny Dolev, Andrew C. Yao , 1983
"... Recently the use of public key encryption to provide secure network communication has received considerable attention. Such public key systems are usually effective against passive eavesdroppers, who merely tap the lines and try to decipher the message. It has been pointed out, however, that an impr ..."

Ontologies: Silver Bullet for Knowledge Management and Electronic Commerce

by Dieter Fensel , 2007
"... Currently computers are changing from single isolated devices to entry points into a world wide network of information exchange and business transactions called the World Wide Web (WWW). Therefore support in the exchange of data, information, and knowledge exchange is becoming the key issue in cur ..."

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 ..."

Charting Past, Present and Future Research in Ubiquitous Computing

by Gregory D. Abowd, Elizabeth D. Mynatt - ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction , 2000
"... . The proliferation ofcomputing into the physical world promises more than the ubiquitous availability of computing infrastructure; it suggests new paradigms of interaction inspired by constant access to information and computational capabilities. For the past decade, applicationdriven research in ..."
Abstract - Cited by 438 (6 self) - Add to MetaCart
in ubicomp has pushed three interaction themes: natural interfaces, context-aware applications, and automated capture and access. To chart a course for future research in ubiquitous computing, we review the accomplishments of these efforts and point to remaining research challenges. Research in ubiquitous

Estimating three-dimensional motion parameters of a rigid planar patch, III: Finite point correspondences and three-view problem

Delayed internet routing convergence

by Craig Labovitz, Abha Ahuja, Abhijit Bose, Farnam Jahanian - ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review , 2000
"... Abstract—This paper examines the latency in Internet path failure, failover, and repair due to the convergence properties of interdomain routing. Unlike circuit-switched paths which exhibit failover on the order of milliseconds, our experimental mea-surements show that interdomain routers in the pac ..."

Based on data from the injection and measurement of several hundred thousand interdomain routing faults, we describe several unexpected properties of convergence and show that the measured upper

Measuring and Reducing Energy Consumption of Network Interfaces in Hand-Held Devices
