A central issue in the design of modern communication networks is that of providing performance guarantees. This issue is particularly important if the networks support real-time t...
Background: The search for cluster structure in microarray datasets is a base problem for the so-called “-omic sciences”. A difficult problem in clustering is how to handle da...
—In a sensor network, data routing is tightly coupled to the needs of a sensing task, and hence the application semantics. This paper introduces the novel idea of information-dir...
