Data collection for both training and testing a classifier is a tedious but essential step towards face detection and recognition. All of the statistical methods suffer from this ...
ion of a given partial assignment of values to variables. Compared with other symmetry breaking techniques, the big advantage of dynamic symmetry breaking is that it can accommodat...
Abstract. Today, there exist many algorithms and protocols for constructing agregation or dissemination trees for wireless sensor networks that are optimal (for different notions o...
In this paper, we study the fundamental limits of a wireless sensor network's lifetime under connectivity and k-coverage constraints. We consider a wireless sensor network wit...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...
