We present the first local approximation schemes for maximum independent set and minimum vertex cover in unit disk graphs. In the graph model we assume that each node knows its geo...
Advances in MEMS technology, wireless communications, and digital electronics have enabled the development of low-cost, low-power, multifunctional sensor nodes that integrating th...
Java, as a safe and platform independent language, avoids access to low-level I/O devices or direct memory access. In standard Java, low-level I/O it not a concern; it is handled ...
