Abstract—Energy efficiency is critical for wireless sensor networks. The data gathering process must be carefully designed to conserve energy and extend the network lifetime. Fo...
We study the problem of minimizing the diameter of a graph by adding k shortcut edges, for speeding up communication in an existing network design. We develop constant-factor appro...
For data-collection applications in sensor networks, it is important to ensure base station receives a complete picture about the monitored area. Convergecast is an important commu...
We study the problem of embedding a directed hypergraph on a ring that has applications in optical network communications. The undirected version (MCHEC) has been extensively stud...
The paper offers a critical analysis of the procedure observed in many applications of neural networks. Given a problem to be solved, a favorite NN-architecture is chosen and its p...
