A Comparative Study of Data Dissemination Models for VANETs
TL;DR: A formal model of data dissemination in VANETs is presented and it is shown that dissemination using only vehicles in the opposite direction increases the data dissemination performance significantly.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
RoadSpeak: enabling voice chat on roadways using vehicular social networks
TL;DR: This paper presents the design of RoadSpeak, a VSN-based system which allows drivers to automatically join VSNs along popular roadways, and communicate with each other by means of voice chat messages.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Privately querying location-based services with SybilQuery
TL;DR: The design and implementation of SybilQuery is presented, a fully decentralized and autonomous k-anonymization-based scheme to privately query location-based services and can efficiently generate Sybil queries, which are indistinguishable from real queries.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Finding hierarchy in directed online social networks
TL;DR: This paper defines a measure of hierarchy in a directed online social network, and presents an efficient algorithm to compute this measure, which is validated using ground truth including Wikipedia notability score and shows how hierarchy emerges as the size of the network increases.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
CARS: Context-Aware Rate Selection for vehicular networks
TL;DR: CARS, a novel context-aware rate selection algorithm that makes use of context information to systematically address the above challenges, while maximizing the link throughput, is designed, implemented and evaluated.
