We address the problem of lowering the buyer’s expected payments in shortest path auctions, where the buyer’s goal is to purchase a path in a graph in which edges are owned by...
—In battery-constrained large-scale sensor networks, nodes are prone to random failures due to various reasons, such as energy depletion and hostile environment. Random failures ...
Target detection and field surveillance are among the most prominent applications of Sensor Networks (SN). The quality of detection achieved by a SN can be quantified by evaluat...
As RFID tags are increasingly attached to everyday items, it quickly becomes impractical to collect data from every tag in order to extract useful information. In this paper, we c...
We study the problem of minimizing the diameter of a graph by adding k shortcut edges, for speeding up communication in an existing network design. We develop constant-factor appro...
