Abstract. Two difficulties in designing data-centric routes [2–5] in wireless sensor networks are the lack of reasonably practical data aggregation models and the high computatio...
Abstract. Identity-based encryption (IBE) is a special asymmetric encryption method where a public encryption key can be an arbitrary identifier and the corresponding private decr...
Local search algorithms are one of the effective methods for solving hard combinatorial problems. However, a serious problem of this approach is that the search often traps at loca...
We study a representative task allocation problem called shortest paths: Let G be a graph in which the edges are owned by self interested agents. The cost of each edge is privatel...
