— Self-monitoring the sensor statuses such as liveness, node density and residue energy is critical for maintaining the normal operation of the sensor network. When building the ...
Abstract – In this paper, a variational message passing framework is proposed for Markov random fields. Analogous to the traditional belief propagation algorithm, variational mes...
Most ad hoc mobile devices in wireless networks operate on batteries and power consumption is therefore an important issue for wireless network design. In this paper, we propose an...
—Owing to the availability of low-cost and low-power CMOS cameras, Wireless Video Sensor Networks (WVSN) has recently become a reality. However video encoding is still a costly p...
In this chapter we present recent contributions in the field of sequential job scheduling on network machines which work in parallel; these are subject to temporary unavailability...
