This paper is motivated by the observation that current research in ad hoc networks mostly assumes a physically flat network architecture with the nodes having homogeneous charact...
A virtual fence is created by applying an aversive stimulus to an animal when it approaches a predefined boundary. It is implemented by a small animal-borne computer system with a...

We consider complex scheduling problems that can be captured as optimization under hard and soft constraints. The objective of such an optimization problem is to satisfy as many h...
The analysis of biochemical networks consists in studying the interactions between biological entities cooperating in complex cellular processes. To facilitate the expression of an...
Abstract. Service network design is critical to the profitability of express shipment carriers. In this paper, we consider the problem of designing the integrated service network ...
