—The performance of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms depends strongly upon the interaction among the particles. The existing communication topologies for PSO (e.g. st...
We consider dual classes of geometric coverage problems, in which disks, corresponding to coverage regions of sensors, are used to cover a region or set of points in the plane. The...

Sensor networks introduce new resource allocation problems in which sensors need to be assigned to the tasks they best help. Such problems have been previously studied in simplifi...

In this paper, we examine the concept of giving every job a trial run before committing it to run until completion. Trial runs allow immediate job failures to be detected shortly a...

Scheduling a task graph onto several processors is a trade-off between maximising concurrency and minimising interprocessor communication. A technique to reduce or avoid interproc...
