— We address the problem of placing a sensor network so as to minimize the uncertainty in estimating the position of targets. The novelty of our formulation is in the sensing mod...
Abstract—Performance and reliability of content access in mobile networks is conditioned jointly by the number and location of content replicas deployed at the network nodes. The...

The Point Distribution Model (PDM) has already proved useful for many tasks involving the location or tracking of deformable objects. A principal limitation lies in the fact that n...
In some applications objects are known to have nonsmooth or “jagged” edges, which are not well approximated by smooth curves. We use subdivision curves as a simple but flexib...
Robotic swarms, like all spatial computers, are a challenging environment for the execution of distributed consensus algorithms due to their scale, diameter, and frequent failures...
