With the development of CMOS and MEMS technologies, the implementation of a large number of wireless distributed micro-sensors that can be easily and rapidly deployed to form highly redundant, self-configuring, and ad hoc sensor networks. To facilitate ease of deployment, these sensors operate on ba...

Energy saving is the most important issue in research and development for wireless sensor networks. A power control mechanism can reduce the power consumption of the whole network. Because the character of wireless sensor networks is restrictive energy, this paper proposes a distributed power contro...

Let G = (V, E) be a complete undirected graph with vertex set V, edge set E, and edge weights /(e) satisfying the triangle inequality. The vertex set V is partitioned into clusters V1, V2, …, Vk. The clustered traveling salesman problem (CTSP) seeks to ...

Waveguide invariant is widely used in underwater target passive ranging. In shallow water with uniform sound speed profile, the value of waveguide invariant is approximately a constant, while in shallow water with thermocline, it varies in a wide range. The waveguide invariant distributions and stri...

With the wide application of Web_2.0 and social software, there are more and more tag-related studies and applications. Because of the randomness and the personalization in users' tagging, tag research continues to encounter data space and semantics obstacles. With the min-max similarity (MMS) to es...
