—One of the principal characteristics of large scale wireless sensor networks is their distributed, multi-hop nature. Due to this characteristic, applications such as query propa...
Abstract— We consider a distributed multi-agent network system where the goal is to minimize an objective function that can be written as the sum of component functions, each of ...
The problem of nding the best answers to a query quickly, rather than nding all answers, is of increasing importance as relational databases are applied in multimedia and decision...
We extend an existing probabilistic congestion model to consider shielding for crosstalk reduction. We then develop a multilevel router to study the impact of various congestion m...
Given a list of filtering rules with individual hitting probabilities, it is known that the average processing time of a linear-search based firewall can be minimized by searchi...
