In this work, we propose two high-level formalisms, Markov Decision Petri Nets (MDPNs) and Markov Decision Well-formed Nets (MDWNs), useful for the modeling and analysis of distrib...

: The emerging trend towards seamless monitoring of all business processes via comprehensive sensor networks – in particular RFID readers – creates new data management challeng...
We introduce a class of anchoritic sensor networks, where communications between sensor nodes are undesirable or infeasible due to, e.g., harsh environments, energy constraints, or...
We present a robust algorithm for independent component analysis that uses the sum of marginal quadratic negentropies as a dependence measure. It can handle arbitrary source densit...
