—The parameterless self-organizing map (PLSOM) is a new neural network algorithm based on the self-organizing map (SOM). It eliminates the need for a learning rate and annealing ...
Applications of sensor networks have become an emerging technology which can monitor a specific area and collect environmental data around the district. The energy of sensor nodes ...
Because of cost and resource constraints, sensor nodes do not have a complicated hardware architecture or operating system to protect program safety. Hence, the notorious buffer-o...
— A directional sensor network consists of a number of directional sensors, which can switch to several directions to extend their sensing ability to cover the interested targets...
We consider the problem of gathering data from a wireless multi-hop network of energy-constrained sensor nodes to a common base station. Specifically, we aim to balance the total...
