In many optimization problems, one seeks to allocate a limited set of resources to a set of individuals with demands. Thus, such allocations can naturally be viewed as vectors, wi...
Abstract—In contrast to existing work on the connected coverage problem in wireless sensor networks which assumes omnidirectional sensors with disk-like sensing range, this paper...

In this paper, we give the first constant-approximations for a number of layered network design problems. We begin by modeling hierarchical caching, where caches are placed in la...
The exposure of a path p is a measure of the likelihood that an object traveling along p is detected by a network of sensors and it is formally defined as an integral over all poin...
