The vision of wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) is to provide real-time
multimedia applications using wireless sensors deployed for long-term usage. Quality of …

Wireless networking technology is evolving as an inexpensive alternative for building
federated and community networks (relative to the traditional wired networking approach) …

The paper presents an algebraic theory of graph-grammars using homomorphisms and
pushout-constructions to specify embeddings and direct derivations constructively. We …

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) consist of a collection of wireless mobile nodes which
dynamically exchange data among themselves without the reliance on a fixed base station …

A relative newcomer to the field of wireless communications, ad hoc networking is growing
quickly, both in its importance and its applications. With rapid advances in hardware …

A prerequisite for a secure communication between two nodes in an ad hoc network is that
the nodes share a key to bootstrap their trust relationship. In this paper, we present a …

Energy consumption always represents a challenge in the ad hoc networks which spurred
the researchers to benefit from the bio-inspired algorithms and their fitness functions to …

The Internet is inherently a multipath network: For an underlying network with only a single
path, connecting various nodes would have been debilitatingly fragile. Unfortunately …

Multipath routing allows building and use of multiple paths for routing between a source-
destination pair. It exploits the resource redundancy and diversity in the underlying network …

Due to the long propagation delay and high error rate of acoustic channels, it is very
challenging to provide reliable data transfer for time-critical applications in an energy …
