In this paper we address the problem of how to learn a structural prototype that can be used to represent the variations present in a set of trees. The prototype serves as a patte...
Abstract. We present a generic package for resource constrained network optimization problems. We illustrate the flexibility and the use of our package by solving four applications...
Garg [10] gives two approximation algorithms for the minimum-cost tree spanning k vertices in an undirected graph. Recently Jain and Vazirani [16] discovered primal-dual approxima...
During a disaster, emergency response operations can benefit from the establishment of a wireless ad hoc network. We propose the use of autonomous robots that move inside a disas...
