Abstract. The Self-Organising Map (SOM) is a well-known neuralnetwork model that has successfully been used as a data analysis tool in many different domains. The SOM provides a to...
Since the physical topology of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) is generally unstable, an appealing approach is the construction of a stable and robust virtual topology or backbone...
Abstract. In this paper, we define the routing overhead as the amount of information needed to describe the changes in a network topology. We derive a universal lower bound on the...
Advances in packaging and interface technologies have made it possible for software components to be shared across the network through encapsulation and offered as network service...
Social insect societies and more specifically ant colonies, are distributed systems that, in spite of the simplicity of their individuals, present a highly structured social organi...
