The two dominant costs in continuous spatial query systems are the wireless communication cost for location update, and the evaluation cost for query processing. Existing works add...
Abstract The visual homing abilities of insects can be explained by the snapshot hypothesis. It asserts that an animal is guided to a previously visited location by comparing the c...
This paper describes a technique whereby an autonomous agent such as a mobile robot can explore an unknown environment and make a topologicalmapofit. It is assumedthat the environ...
Heterogeneous multihop wireless networks such as wireless mesh networks consist of a set of resource-constrained mobile nodes that want to communicate with each other and a set of...
On a wired network, physical authentication is implicitly provided by access: if a user is able to plug a cable into a network socket, he must have cleared other security checks s...
