Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

In this paper, we consider the issue of constructing an energy-efficient virtual network backbone in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) for broadcasting applications using directiona...
Recently, there has been substantial interest in the design of crosslayer protocols for wireless networks. These protocols optimize certain performance metric(s) of interest (e.g....

It has been noted that many realistic graphs have a power law degree distribution and exhibit the small world phenomenon. We present drawing methods influenced by recent developm...
In this paper, we present a novel entropy estimator for a given set of samples drawn from an unknown probability density function (PDF). Counter to other entropy estimators, the e...
