Consider a scenario where an l-bit secret has been distributed among n players by an honest dealer using some secret sharing scheme. Then, if all players behave honestly, the secre...
In this paper, we study the fundamental limits of a wireless sensor network's lifetime under connectivity and k-coverage constraints. We consider a wireless sensor network wit...
Practitioners and researchers often refer to error rates or accuracy percentages of databases. The former is the number of cells in error divided by the total number of cells; the...
The problem of selecting the best system from a finite set of alternatives is considered from a Bayesian decision-theoretic perspective. The framework presented is quite general,...
