Over the past two decades, complex network theory provided the ideal framework for
investigating the intimate relationships between the topological properties characterizing the …

This paper presents an overview on the recent advances in the research of security of cyber–
physical systems. We place particular emphases on consensus problems for multi-agent …

The emergence of synchronization in a network of coupled oscillators is a fascinating
subject of multidisciplinary research. This survey reviews the vast literature on the theory …

Clock synchronization is a critical component in the operation of wireless sensor networks
(WSNs), as it provides a common time frame to different nodes. It supports functions such as …

Inspired by swarm intelligence observed in social species, the artificial self-organized
networking (SON) systems are expected to exhibit some intelligent features (eg, flexibility …

When choosing the technology options to develop a wireless sensor network (WSN), it is
vital that their performance levels can be assessed for the type of application intended. This …

This article has explored history, recent advances, and challenges in distributed
synchronization for distributed wireless systems. It is focused on synchronization schemes …

This letter proposes an energy-efficient clock synchronization scheme for Wireless Sensor
Networks (WSNs) based on a novel time synchronization approach. Within the proposed …

The concept of distributed transmit beamforming is implicit in many key results of network
information theory. However, its implementation in a wireless network involves the …

Desynchronization is a novel primitive for sensor networks: it implies that nodes perfectly
interleave periodic events to occur in a round-robin schedule. This primitive can be used to …
