Expressive Models for Synaptic Plasticity
We explore some presynaptic mechanisms of the calyx of Held synapse through a stochastic model. The model, drawn from a kinetic approach developed in literature, exploits process c...

Hierarchical spatial gossip for multi-resolution representations in sensor networks
In this paper we propose a lightweight algorithm for constructing multi-resolution data representations for sensor networks. We compute, at each sensor node u, O(log n) aggregates...
