Abstract. Aiming at a realistic mobile connectivity model for vehicular sensor networks in urban environments, we propose the combination of large-scale traffic simulation and comp...
We present an approach for the automated synthesis of proactive aggregation protocols using Genetic Programming and discuss major decisions in modeling and simulating distributed a...
This paper investigates the energy cost of control packets in schedule-based medium access control protocols in wireless sensor networks. Control packets can be useful not only to ...
We estimate with a branching process model the propagation of load shed and the probability distribution of load shed in simulated blackouts of an electric power system. The avera...
We discuss tournaments in terms of their efficiency as probabilistic mechanisms that select high-quality alternatives ("players") in a noisy environment. We use two crit...
