Abstract--Wireless networks, especially mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and cognitive radio networks (CRN), are facing two new challenges beyond traditional random network model: op...
Graph construction plays a key role on learning algorithms based on graph Laplacian. However, the traditional graph construction approaches of -neighborhood and k-nearest-neighbor...
Hard problems for metaheuristic search can be a source of insight for developing better methods. We examine a challenging instance of such a problem that has exactly two local opt...
Background: A significant problem in the study of mechanisms of an organism's development is the elucidation of interrelated factors which are making an impact on the differe...
—MDS array codes are widely used in storage systems to protect data against erasures. We address the rebuilding ratio problem, namely, in the case of erasures, what is the the fr...
