—Wireless communications using ad hoc networks are receiving an increasing interest. The most attractive feature of ad hoc networks is the flexibility. The network is set up by ...
In many sensor networking environments, the sensor nodes have limited battery capacity and processing power. Hence, it is imperative to develop solutions that are energy-efficient...
Abstract We present a new margin-based approach to first-order rule learning. The approach addresses many of the prominent challenges in first-order rule learning, such as the comp...
Background: Current approaches to parameter estimation are often inappropriate or inconvenient for the modelling of complex biological systems. For systems described by nonlinear ...
We study the problem of optimal preemptive scheduling with respect to a general target function. Given n jobs with associated weights and m ≤ n uniformly related machines, one a...
