The Internet of Things (IoT) represents an evolutionary vision that promises to identify and connect physical objects and devices. This vision faces many challenges in terms of integrating technologies, especially RFID-sensor networks (RSNs). In this paper, we introduce a framework for node deployment and delaytolerance in RSNs under the IoT paradigm. Our framework is comprised of two component...

Major Internet events such as the IETF meetings, the Regional Internet Registry meetings, APRICOT, SIGCOMM, and NetWorld+Interop to name a few, all provide Internet access for attendees. Commonly referred to as the “Terminal Room,” these facilities have evolved into complex high-speed networks with redundant paths, IPv6 routing, multicast, and more. In the last five years or so, these networks ...

Automatic target recognition (ATR) in target search phase is very challenging because the target range and mobility are not yet perfectly known, which results in delay-Doppler uncertainty. In this paper, we firstly perform some theoretical studies on radar sensor network (RSN) design based on linear frequency modulation (LFM) waveform: (1) the conditions for waveform coexistence, (2) interferen...

Blastomycosis is an invasive fungal disease caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis and the recently discovered Blastomyces gilchristii. The medical charts of 64 patients with confirmed cases of blastomycosis in northwestern Ontario during a 10-year period (2004 to 2014) were retrospectively reviewed. The number of patients diagnosed with blastomycosis in Ontario was observed to have increased subst...
