—Agent-based virtual private networks architecture (ABVA) refers to the environment where a third-party provider runs and administers remote access VPN service for organizations ...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

Most sensor network research and software design has been guided by an architectural principle that permits multi-node data fusion on small-form-factor, resource-poor nodes, or mo...
The widespread deployment of sensor networks is on the horizon. One of the main challenges in sensor networks is to process and aggregate data in the network rather than wasting e...
Traditional studies of routing problems often assumed strict preferences on paths, by eliminating ambiguity in path comparisons, or imposing a priori deterministic tie-breaking. S...
