Capacity-delay tradeoff for information dissemination modalities in wireless networks
This paper presents the first comprehensive capacity-delay tradeoff study for random wireless ad hoc networks under all information dissemination modalities when nodes operate either with multi-packet reception (MPR) or single-packet…

Understanding the efficiency of social tagging systems using information theory
We analyze a social tagging site, namely del.icio.us, with information theory in order to evaluate the efficiency of this social tagging site for encoding navigation paths to information sources.

Using utility and microutility to manage resources in vehicle ad hoc networks
In this paper we describe how sources can model the potential usefulness of their information using utility functions that describe where and at what data rates the information will be…

Using utility and microutility to manage resources in vehicle ad hoc networks
We describe an approach to propagating streams of information in Vehicle Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) based on sources of information predicting where the information will be useful---information is pushed "based on…

Low cost, membrane-less water purification
PARC has developed a compact, low-cost purification system that reduces maintenance down-time, increases throughput, decreases power consumption, and shrinks real estate requirements.
