Several centralized and distributed algorithms have been recently proposed to maximize the multicast lifetime for directional communications in wireless ad-hoc networks. Their per...
As artificial life systems grow in number and sophistication, it is becoming increasingly important that the field agree on principled metrics for evaluating them. This report d...
Topology management schemes conserve energy in wireless ad hoc networks by identifying redundant nodes that may turn off their radios or other components while maintaining connec...
We consider the problem of optimal allocation of computing budget to maximize the probability of correct selection in the ordinal optimization setting. This problem has been studi...
We develop a new framework for the quantitative analysis of shapes of planar curves. Shapes are modeled on elastic strings that can be bent, stretched or compressed at different r...
