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...
Multi-homed and overlay networks are two widely studied approaches aimed at leveraging the inherent redundancy of the Internet's underlying routing infrastructure to enhance ...
We study the novel problem of efficiently computing the update distance for a pair of relational databases. In analogy to the edit distance of strings, we define the update distan...
Sensor networks are often used to perform monitoring tasks, such as in animal or vehicle tracking and in surveillance of enemy forces in military applications. In this paper we in...
Genetic programming has been considered a promising approach for function approximation since it is possible to optimize both the functional form and the coefficients. However, it...
