GigaDB: promoting data dissemination and reproducibility

Often papers are published where the underlying data supporting the research are not made available because of the limitations of making such large data sets publicly and permanently accessible. Even if the raw data are deposited in public archives, the essential analysis intermediaries, scripts or software are frequently not made available, meaning the science is not reproducible. The GigaScie...

Matching Data Dissemination Algorithms

A distinguishing characteristic of wireless sensor networks is the opportunity to exploit characteristics of the application at lower layers. This approach is encouraged by device resource constraints, and acceptable because devices are inexpensive and numerous enough that they can be dedicated to specific applications. Many data dissemination protocols have been proposed for multi-hop communic...

Interimistic data dissemination

We present low-overhead protocols for disseminating streaming data in an interimistic environment in which the availability of computers, networks, and other resources is very unpredictable. An important example of such an environment is the state of computing and communication resources immediately following a natural disaster or a similar disruptive event. A key characteristic of such environ...

D Data Dissemination

One of the driving factors in IT development is the availability of cheap and efficient network technologies. The Internet is no longer used only as a medium for personal communication. Organizations start utilizing this technology to link existing applications and to create new ones. While traditionally systems were designed to respond to interactive user requests, they are now more and more a...
