The theory of distributed detection is receiving a lot of attention. A common assumption used in previous studies is the conditional independence of the observations. In this paper, the optimization of local decision rules for distributed detection networks with correlated observations is considered. We focus on presenting the detection theory for parallel distributed detection networks with fi...

Entangled systems in experiments may be lost or off-line distributed quantum information processing. This inspires a general problem to characterize operations, which result breaking of entanglement not. Our goal this paper is solve both single and network scenarios. We firstly propose local model for characterizing all entangled states that are losing particles. implies simple criterion witnes...

strategic selection problem is a multi-criteria problem which includes conflicting tangible and intangible criteria. in order to select the most appropriate strategic alternative it is necessary to make tradeoffs between these criteria as well as taking into account the resource limitations which may exist. available methods neglect the distance concept which exists between the alternatives wei...

We consider biobjective shortest path problems in networks with fuzzy arc lengths. Considering the available studies for single objective shortest path problems in fuzzy networks, using a distance function for comparison of fuzzy numbers, we propose three approaches for solving the biobjective prob- lems. The rst and second approaches are extensions of the labeling method to solve the sing...

We study the problem of greedy, single path data propagation in wireless sensor networks, aiming mainly to minimize the energy dissipation. In particular, we first mathematically analyze and experimentally evaluate the energy efficiency and latency of three characteristic protocols, each one selecting the next hop node with respect to a different criterion (minimum projection, minimum angle and...

We propose a new criterion, called autocorrelation coefficient criterion (ACC) to select the appropriate lag structure of foreign exchange rates forecasting with neural networks, and design the corresponding algorithm. The criterion and algorithm are data-driven in that there is no prior assumption about the models for time series under study. We conduct the experiments to compare the predictio...

Routes in ad hoc wireless networks are typically discovered and selected by routing protocols based on a particular single criterion such as shortest path or lowest cost of power. Furthermore, those routing protocols do not capture the mobility of the network nodes nor do they factorize it into the operation of the protocols. In this paper, we feature the Virtual Paths Routing (VPR) Protocol fo...
