We consider the problem of fault-tolerant agreement in a crash-prone synchronous system. We present a new randomized consensus algorithm that achieves optimal communication effici...
Honeybees coordinate foraging efforts across vast areas through a complex system of advertising and recruitment. One mechanism for coordination is the waggle dance, a movement patt...
In this work we present a new routing protocol for sensor networks that utilizes smart antennas to propagate information about a sensed event towards a receiving center. Our protoc...
The paper presents an evaluation-relaxation scheme where a fitness surrogate automatically adapts to the problem structure and the partial contributions of subsolutions to the fit...
Significant research has been devoted to detecting people
in images and videos. In this paper we describe a human detection
method that augments widely used edge-based features
