On Time-Out Driven Power Management Policies in Wireless Networks: Switching the devices to low-power states in prolonged period of inactivity is a widely used technique to conserve energy for battery-powered wireless devices. This paper presents a mathematical abstraction of time-out driven power management policies together with different wakeup mechanism in wireless networks to characterize the energy-performance trade-offs. The time-out...; Tags: University Of Houston, Power Management, Network, Wireless Network, Wi-Fi, Wireless; White papers
Reducing the Costs of IS Through Insourcing: We discovered many myths about total outsourcing, the practice of turning over the entire IS department to a vendor for a period of 7 to 10 years.

Performance Analysis of Power Management Policies in Wireless Networks: It has long been recognized that energy conservation usually comes at the cost of degraded performance such as longer delay and lower throughput in stand-alone systems and communication networks. However, there have been very few research efforts in quantifying such trade-offs. This paper develops analytical models to characterize the relationships...; Tags: University Of Houston, Power Management, Performance, Network, Wireless Network, Wi-Fi, Wireless; White papers
