—In this paper, we propose a low-complexity scheme for minimizing energy consumption in a clustered multirate CDMA sensor network with multiple receive antennas by jointly contro...
We study a generalization of the k-median problem with respect to an arbitrary dissimilarity measure D. Given a finite set P, our goal is to find a set C of size k such that the s...
The Prize Collecting Traveling Salesman Problem (PCTSP) can be associated to a salesman that collects a prize in each city visited and pays a penalty for each city not visited, wit...

Quorum systems are a mechanism for obtaining fault-tolerance and efficient distributed systems. We consider geographic quorum systems; a geographic quorum system is a partition of...
Most clustering algorithms produce a single clustering for a given data set even when the data can be clustered naturally in multiple ways. In this paper, we address the difficult...
