The classical Probability Ranking Principle (PRP) forms the theoretical basis for probabilistic Information Retrieval (IR) models, which are dominating IR theory since about 20 ye...
To minimize the execution time of a sensing task over a multi-hop hierarchical sensor network, we present a coordinated scheduling method following the divisible load scheduling p...
This paper investigates a distributed and adaptive approach to manage spectrum usage in dynamic spectrum access networks. While previous works focus on centralized provisioning, w...
In this paper, we consider a discrete-time finite-capacity queue with Bernoulli arrivals and batch services. In this queue, the single server has a variable service capacity and s...
