Rate-Distortion Curve Evaluation for Cross-Layer Optimization in Progressive Video Transmission

Laura Toni

Robust streaming of video over wireless networks poses many challenges, as coping with bandwidth variations, data losses, and heterogeneity of the receivers. Rate-distortion (RD) optimization studies are aimed at increasing the reliability of received bits ...

Towards an improved understanding of farmers' behaviour: The integrative agent-centred (IAC) framework

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer

An effective approach to research on farmers' behaviour is based on: i) an explicit and well-motivated behavioural theory; ii) an integrative approach; and iii) understanding feedback processes and dynamics. While current approaches may effectively tackle ...

Identity Aware Sensor Networks

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Lorenzo Keller, Mahdi Jafari Siavoshani

In a significant class of sensor-network applications, the identities of the reporting sensors are an essential part of the reported information. For instance, in environmental monitoring, the goal is to reconstruct physical quantities over space and time; ...
