In the CLOSEST SUBSTRING problem k strings s1, ..., sk are given, and the task is to find a string s of length L such that each string si has a consecutive substring of length L ...
A major difficulty in evaluating incomplete local search style algorithms for constraint satisfaction problems is the need for a source of hard problem instances that are guarante...

Barrier coverage is a critical issue in wireless sensor networks for various battlefield and homeland security applications. The goal is to effectively detect intruders that attem...
We study several variants of coordinated consensus in dynamic networks. We assume a synchronous model, where the communication graph for each round is chosen by a worst-case adver...
Coverage, fault tolerance and power consumption constraints make optimal placement of mobile sensors or other mobile agents a hard problem. We have developed a model for describin...
