In this paper we assume that a multihop wireless network (also called a wireless ad hoc network) consists of nodes whose transmitting powers are finitely adjustable. We consider t...
Researchers have previously looked into the problem of determining if a given set of security hardening measures can effectively make a networked system secure. Many of them also...
This paper introduces the concept of a critical backbone as a minimal set of variables or part of the solution necessary to be within the basin of attraction of the global optimum...
We study the partial vertex cover problem. Given a graph G = (V, E), a weight function w : V → R+ , and an integer s, our goal is to cover all but s edges, by picking a set of v...
We introduce a new synchronization problem in mobile ad-hoc systems: the Driving Philosophers. In this problem, an unbounded number of driving philosophers (processes) access a rou...
