Submodular function minimization is a polynomially-solvable combinatorial problem. Unfortunately the best known general-purpose algorithms have high-order polynomial time complexi...
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...
Abstract-- In this paper, we deal with the production and transportation planning of a household appliances manufacturer that has production facilities and central stores for resel...
The emergence of the Semantic Web has led to the creation of large semantic knowledge bases, often in the form of RDF databases. Improving the performance of RDF databases necessit...
Coverage configuration is an important issue in large scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Existing coverage configuration methods are generally based on the concept of physical...
