Consider a distributed system N in which each agent has an input value and each communication link has a weight. Given a global function, that is, a function f whose value depends...
The study of networked systems is an emerging field, impacting almost every area of engineering and science, including the important domains of communication systems, biology, soc...
Background: A combination of multiple types of transcription factors and cis-regulatory elements is often required for gene expression in eukaryotes, and the combinatorial regulat...
Mergers are procedures that, with the aid of a short random string, transform k (possibly dependent) random sources into a single random source, in a way that ensures that if one ...
— Energy efficient operation is of paramount importance for battery-powered wireless nodes. In an effort to conserve energy, standard protocols for WLANs have the provision for w...
