We simulate different architectures of a distributed Information Retrieval system on a very large Web collection, in order to work out the optimal setting for a particular set of r...
—Large graphs are used in many applications, such as social networking. The management of these graphs poses new challenges because such graphs are too large to fit on a single ...
— A decentralized, adaptive control law is presented to drive a network of mobile robots to a near-optimal sensing configuration. The control law is adaptive in that it integrat...
