Abstract. We present a new “lifting” approach for the solution of nonlinear optimization problems (NLPs) that have objective and constraint functions with intermediate variable...
—In this paper, we investigate the maximization of the coverage time for a clustered wireless sensor network (WSN) by optimal balancing of power consumption among cluster heads (...
Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves have the property that they start at (0,l) and end at (1,O) and are monotonically decreasing. Furthermore, a parametric representat...
The paper studies the impact of several lock manager designs on the overhead imposed to a persistent programming language by automated object locking. Our study reveals that a loc...
