Scalability and extended lifetime are two critical design goals of any large scale wireless sensor network. A two-tiered network model has been proposed recently for this purpose....
In the efficient social choice problem, the goal is to assign values, subject to side constraints, to a set of variables to maximize the total utility across a population of agent...
Abstract. We present a new parallel computation model called the Parallel ResourceOptimal computation model. PRO is a framework being proposed to enable the design of efficient and...
Abstract. The Naccache-Stern (ns) knapsack cryptosystem is an original yet little-known public-key encryption scheme. In this scheme, the ciphertext is obtained by multiplying publ...
Abstract—This paper studies the problem of utility maximization for clients with delay based QoS requirements in wireless networks. We adopt a model used in a previous work that ...
