The abundance of data available on Wireless Sensor Networks makes online processing necessary. In industrial applications for example, the correct operation of equipment can be the point of interest while raw sampled data is of minor importance. Classification algorithms can be used to make state classifications based on the available data. The distributed nature of Wireless Sensor Networks is ...

We will consider the problem of identifying regions of congestion in closed queueing networks with state-dependent service rates. A particular queue will be called a bottleneck if the number of customers in that queue grows without bound as the total number of customers in the network becomes large. We will review methods for identifying potential bottlenecks, with a view to controlling congest...

Plant viruses are submitted to narrow population bottlenecks both during infection of their hosts and during horizontal transmission between host individuals. The size of bottlenecks exerted on virus populations during plant invasion has been estimated in a few pathosystems but is not addressed yet for horizontal transmission. Using competition for aphid transmission between two Potato virus Y ...
