Abstract Principal Component Analysis and Fisher Linear Discriminant methods have
demonstrated their success in face detection, recog (cid: 173) nition, and tracking. The …

Emerging applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) require real-time quality-of-
service (QoS) guarantees to be provided by the network. Due to the nondeterministic …

A fundamental problem for the delay and backlog analysis across multihop paths in wireless
networks is how to account for the random properties of the wireless channel. Since the …

We consider a cognitive radio network where multiple secondary users (SUs) contend for
spectrum usage, using random access, over available primary user (PU) channels. Our …

Low latency is critical for many applications in wireless communications, eg, vehicle-to-
vehicle, multimedia, and industrial control networks. Meanwhile, for the capability of …

Along with the increasing demands for the applications running on the wireless sensor
network (WSN), energy consumption and congestion become two main problems to be …

It has been recently observed that Software Defined Networks (SDN) can change the paths
of different connections in the network at a relatively frequent pace to improve the overall …

In this work, we emphasize the practical importance of mission-critical wireless sensor
networks (WSNs) for structural health monitoring of industrial constructions. Due to its …

In this paper, a supply chain is represented as a two-input, three-stage queuing network. An
input order to the supply chain is represented by two stochastic variables, one for the …

Failure detectors (FDs) are fundamental building blocks for distributed systems. An FD
detects whether a process has crashed or not based on the reception of heartbeats' …
