The distribution of fitness values across a set of states sharply influences the dynamics of evolutionary processes and heuristic search in combinatorial optimization. In this p...
Distributed decision making in networked systems depends critically on the timely availability of critical fresh information. Performance of networked systems, from the perspective...
Abstract-- The dynamics of exploration vs exploitation decisions are explored in the context of robotic search problems. Building on prior work on robotic search together with our ...
—Malware attacks constitute a serious security risk that threatens to slow down the large scale proliferation of wireless applications. As a first step towards thwarting this se...
— We propose and analyze the Persistent Patrol Problem (PPP). An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) moving with constant speed and unbounded acceleration patrols a bounded region of t...
