We consider the in-network computation of approximate “big picture” summaries in bandwidth-constrained sensor networks. First we review early work on computing the Haar wavele...
The problem of routing of sensor observations for optimal detection of a Markov random field (MRF) at a designated fusion center is analyzed. Assuming that the correlation structur...
A flow on a directed network is said to be confluent if the flow uses at most one outgoing arc at each node. Confluent flows arise naturally from destination-based routing. We stud...
Deterministic graph grammars generate regular graphs, that form a structural extension of configuration graphs of pushdown systems. In this paper, we study a probabilistic extensio...
In phylogenetic analysis, a standard problem is to approximate a given metric by an additive metric. Here it is shown that, given a metric D defined on some finite set X and a non...
