The problem of determining the evolutionary history of species in the form of phylogenetic trees is known as the phylogeny problem. We present a parallelization of the character c...
Sensor networks have been conventionally defined as a network of sensor motes that collaboratively detect events and report them to a remote monitoring station. This paper makes a...
