While there is a very long tradition of approximating a data array by projecting row or column vectors into a lower dimensional subspace the direct approximation of a data matrix ...
The success of experiences such as Seattle and Houston Wireless has attracted the attention on the so called wireless mesh community networks. These are wireless multihop networks...
