16S rRNA gene profiling has recently been boosted by the development of pyrosequencing methods. A common analysis is to group pyrosequences into Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs),...
In this paper we present an original framework to extract representative groups from a dataset, and we validate it over a novel case study. The framework specifies the application ...
—In many application scenarios sensors need to calculate the average of some local values, e.g. of local measurements. A possible solution is to rely on consensus algorithms. In ...

The use of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has become an integral part of sea-ice monitoring and analysis in the polar regions. An important task in sea-ice analysis is to segment ...
Time synchronization is essential for several ad-hoc network protocols and applications, such as TDMA scheduling and data aggregation. In this paper, we propose a time synchronizat...
