In this paper we develop a theory for characterizing how deformable a shape is. We define a term called “deformability index” for shapes. The deformability index is computed ...
With the growing use of wireless networks and mobile devices, we are moving towards an era where spatial and temporal information will be necessary for access control. The use of s...
Abstract— Motivated by applications to sensor, peer-topeer and ad hoc networks, we study distributed asynchronous algorithms, also known as gossip algorithms, for computation and...

Modern distributed software applications generally operate in complex and heterogeneous computing environments (like the World Wide Web). Different paradigms (client-server, mobili...
The Self-Organizing Map, SOM, is a widely used tool in exploratory data analysis. A major drawback of the SOM has been the lack of a theoretically justified criterion for model se...
