Abstract--In this paper, we propose a decentralized sensor network scheme capable to reach a globally optimum maximum-likelihood (ML) estimate through self-synchronization of nonli...
The empirical investigation of the effectiveness of information retrieval (IR) systems requires a test collection, a set of query topics, and a set of relevance judgments made by ...
In network performance tomography, characteristics of the network interior are inferred by correlating end-to-end measurements. In much previous work, the presence of correlations...
Cross-traffic data rate over the tight link of a path can be estimated using different active probing packet dispersion techniques. Many of these techniques send large amounts of p...
In our work, we address the problem of modeling social network generation which explains both link and group formation. Recent studies on social network evolution propose generati...
