In an object-relational database management system, a query optimizer requires users to provide cost models of userdefined functions. The traditional approach is analytical, that...
—The paper presents a novel integrated MAC/routing scheme for wireless sensor networking. Our design objective is to elect the next hop for data forwarding by minimizing the numb...
Sharing the cost of multicast transmissions was studied in the past and two mechanisms, Marginal Cost and Shapley Value, were proposed. Compared to the Marginal Cost Mechanism the...
In this paper, we propose to use the Huber M-estimator cost function as a contrast function within the complex FastICA algorithm of Bingham and Hyvarinen for the blind separation o...
Abstract. Blin et al. (2006) proposed a distributed protocol that enables the smallest number of searchers to clear any unknown asynchronous graph in a decentralized manner. Unknow...
