Abstract--The information propagation speed (IPS) of a network specifies how fast the information can be transmitted in a network. In this paper, we derive an IPS upper bound in co...
—With advances in energy harvesting techniques, it is now feasible to build sustainable sensor networks (SSN) to support long-term applications. Unlike battery-powered sensor net...
A novel solution to the reliable multicast problem is the “digital fountain” approach, in which data is encoded with an erasure protection code before transmission, and receiv...
Abstract--Feature selection is an important challenge in machine learning. Unfortunately, most methods for automating feature selection are designed for supervised learning tasks a...
Appropriately designing sampling policies is highly important for obtaining better control policies in reinforcement learning. In this paper, we first show that the least-squares ...
