Abstract-- We address the problem of batching messages generated at nodes of a sensor network for the purpose of reducing communication energy at the expense of added latency. We f...
Simulation optimization (SO) is the process of finding the optimum design of a system whose performance measure(s) are estimated via simulation. We propose some ideas to improve o...
Background: The modeling of dynamic systems requires estimating kinetic parameters from experimentally measured time-courses. Conventional global optimization methods used for par...
Simulated annealing (SA) and deterministic continuation are well-known generic approaches to global optimization. Deterministic continuation is computationally attractive but produ...
We design two different strategies for computing the unknown content preferences in an online social network based on a small set of nodes in the corresponding social graph for wh...
