— In this paper we use an information flow model for placement of traffic sinks in a wireless sensor network. Our mathematical model translates a communication network composed...
Base station location has significant impact on network lifetime performance for a sensor network. For a multihop sensor network, this problem is particular challenging as we need ...
— We address the problem of placing a sensor network so as to minimize the uncertainty in estimating the position of targets. The novelty of our formulation is in the sensing mod...
Genetic algorithms require relatively large computation time to solve optimization problems, especially in VLSI CAD such as module placement. Therefore, island-based parallel GAs a...
In a realistic design flow, circuit and system optimizations must interact with physical aspects of the design. For example, improvements in timing and power may require replacing ...
