The achieves this by employing Beckett Campbell’s (2015) concept ‘oppositional device’, which is used understand resistance practices technologies power that coalesce around people’s collective action. argues could, similarly, b...

Observing that it is impractical to use traditional methods to control concurrency in broadcast-based asymmetric communication environment, we introduce a concurrency control protocol designed for broadcast-based transaction processing called STUBcast (Server Timestamp and Update Broadcast Supported Concurrency). STUBcast supports two new correctness criteria proposed in this paper Single Seria...

This letter proposes a broadcast scheme for use in ad hoc networks using variable-range transmission power. Preserving energy and ensuring a high delivery ratio of broadcast packets are crucial tasks for broadcasting in ad hoc networks. Using individual broadcast relaying nodes to dynamically vary the transmission range can help saving power and reduce interference during communication. We anal...

There is an increased interest in using broadcast disks to support mobile access to realtime databases. However, previous work has only considered the design of real-time immutable broadcast disks, the contents of which do not change over time. This paper considers the design of programs for real-time mutable broadcast disks | broadcast disks whose contents are occasionally updated. Recent sche...
