A computer network consists of a set of computing nodes interconnected via communication channels. It is commonly assumed that, for each pair of network nodes u and v, there is at...
While scheduling the nodes in a wireless network to sleep periodically can save energy, it also incurs higher latency and lower throughput. We consider the problem of designing op...
The Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) is a generic optimization problem defined by a network of local cost functions defined over discrete variables. It has applicatio...

This paper investigates wireless sensor networks where a small percentage of nodes are assumed to know their location a priori. These reference nodes enable absolute localization ...
In this paper, we describe a new algorithm for sampling solutions from a uniform distribution over the solutions of a constraint network. Our new algorithm improves upon the Sampli...
