— This paper investigates theoretical aspects of the uneven energy depletion phenomenon recently noticed in sink-based wireless sensor networks. We consider uniformly distributed...
— We consider the design of a sensor network for detecting an emitter who if present is known to be located in an interval but whose exact position is unknown. We seek to minimiz...
This paper investigates resource allocation policies for achieving real-time content distribution with subsecond delay bounds on the current Internet. Resource allocation in real-...
