Abstract— Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are energyconstrained in nature, in this paper, we formulate the problem of data transport in sensor networks as a network utility maxim...
Recent studies [13, 18] have shown that clearing schemes are efficient multi-modal optimization methods. They efficiently reduce genetic drift which is the direct reason for prema...
For a mobile robot to move in a known environment and operate successfully, first it needs to robustly determine its initial position and orientation relative to the map, and then ...

Proximal bundle methods have been shown to be highly successful optimization methods for unconstrained convex problems with discontinuous first derivatives. This naturally leads ...
Efficient and accurate fitting of Active Appearance Models (AAM) is a key requirement for many applications. The most efficient fitting algorithm today is Inverse Compositiona...
