Efficient Localization in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks: The proposed Dynamic Reference Localization DRL is a distributed range-free localization approach. In order to save communication cost in localization, DRL reduces information flooding among nodes by dynamically changing each seed's flooding-hop to limit seed flooding in a local area; however, it still maintains the whole coverage. In addition, DRL...; Tags: mobile, network, localization, sensor, wireless, seed, dynamic reference localization, triangulation, advertising & promotion, marketing; White papers 2006-05-04
Toward Sharing Reasoning to Improve Fault Localization in Spreadsheets: Although researchers have developed several ways to reason about the location of faults in spreadsheets, no single form of reasoning is without limitations. Multiple types of errors can appear in spreadsheets, and various fault localization techniques differ in the kinds of errors that they are effective in locating. Because end...; Tags: oregon state university, reasoning inc., localization, spreadsheet, productivity; White papers 2006-01-12
