Let f be an integer valued function on a finite set V . We call an undirected graph G(V, E) a neighborhood structure for f. The problem of finding a local minimum for f can be phr...
In this paper we design an iterative rounding approach for the classic prize-collecting Steiner forest problem and more generally the prize-collecting survivable Steiner network de...
—A cardinal prerequisite for the system design of a sensor network, is to understand the geometric environment where sensor nodes are deployed. The global topology of a largescal...
Clustering under constraints is a recent innovation in the artificial intelligence community that has yielded significant practical benefit. However, recent work has shown that fo...
In this paper, we explore how to effectively create and use "instant mesh networks", i.e., wireless mesh networks that are dynamically deployed in temporary circumstances...
