The Internet is an evolving ecosystem where a multitude of interconnected networks, or Autonomous Systems (ASes), support global connectivity of end users. 

Mobile robots collaborate in order to solve efficiently the central problems in algorithmics of distributed computing like searching/exploration, rendez-vous or pattern formation. 

Many data collection protocols have been proposed to cater for the energy-efficient flow of sensor data from distributed sources to a sink node. However, the transmission of control commands from the sink to one or only a small set of nodes in the network is generally unsupported by these protocols.

While some see in Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) a routing ambrosia to be enshrined, others perceive a basis of serious Internet connectivity limitations. Because the interdomain routing protocol realizes contracts between Autonomous Systems (ASes), this paper argues that contractual and routing issues need to be tackled jointly to overcome the connectivity limitations. We propose Route Bazaar, a backward-compatible system for flexible Internet connectivity. Inspired by the decentralized construction of trust in cryptocurrencies, Route Bazaar uses a decentralized public ledger and cryptography to provide ASes with automatic means to form, establish, and verify end-to-end connectivity agreements.

The impact of car accidents in human lives calls for a profound understanding of accident risk. However, the unpredictability of accidents and the unfeasibility of their reproduction make it difficult to identify the causes and patterns underlying individual accidents.

In this paper, we propose Floating Band D2D, an adaptive framework to exploit the full potential of Device-to-Device (D2D) transmission modes.

Mobile data traffic is increasing rapidly and wire- less spectrum is becoming a more and more scarce resource. 

In this paper we challenge the common evaluation practices used for Virtual Machine (VM) consolidation, such as simulation and small testbeds, which fail to capture the fundamental trade-off between energy consumption and performance. We identify a number of over-simplifying assumptions which are typically made about the energy consumption and performance characteristics of modern networked systems.

Traditional distance vector routing and efficient flooding-based routing can be considered the two ends of the routing continuum in wireless sensor networks. The former uses a graph metaphor to find the best paths between the end-points in a network.

Distributed Storage Systems ensure data availability and survivability be replicating data in geographically disperse storage devices. Replication allows multiple processes to access the data concurrently each communicating with different storage device.
