Despite recent advances in uncovering the quantitative features of stationary human activity patterns, many applications, from pandemic prediction to emergency response, require a...
: - This paper introduces the main ideas of the nested partitions (NP) method, analyses its efficiency theoretically and proposes the way to improve the optimization efficiency of ...
There are many local and greedy algorithms for energy minimization over Markov Random Field (MRF) such as iterated condition mode (ICM) and various gradient descent methods. Local ...
Local monitoring is an effective mechanism for the security of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Existing schemes assume the existence of sufficient number of active nodes to carry...
Decentralized sensor networks are collections of individual local sensors that observe a common phenomenon, quantize their observations, and send this quantized information to a ce...
