Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is a promising networking paradigm which immerses
objects (cell phones, goods, watches, sensing motes, TVs, etc.) in a worldwide connection …

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are widely recognized as a promising solution to build
next-generation monitoring systems. Their industrial uptake is however still compromised by …

Although different modeling techniques have been proposed during the last 300 years, the
differential equation formalism proposed by Newton and Leibniz has been the tool of choice …

A wireless sensor network (WSN)(singular and plural of acronyms are spelled the same) is a
distributed system composed of autonomous sensor nodes wireless connected and …

As the incidence of faults in real Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) increases, fault injection
is starting to be adopted to verify and validate their design choices. Following this recent …

Many solutions are emerging for the remote and continuous monitoring of unpredictable
health problems, such as cardiac diseases. These are designed to be minimally invasive for …

The paper proposes Markov models for the reliability analysis of the wireless sensor
networks. There are presented the theoretical aspects and some of the variables that are …

The design and realization of health monitoring systems has attracted the interest of large
communities both from industry and academia. Remote and continuous monitoring of …

Routing protocols allow for the spontaneous formation of wireless multi-hop networks
without dedicated infrastructure, also known as ad hoc networks. Despite significant …

This paper describes a modeling framework for evaluating the impact of faults on the output
of streaming applications. Our model is based on three abstractions: stream operators …
