The goal of the least areas path problem (LAPP) is to find a path traversing through a given region covered by a set of areas with any arbitrary shape, between a given pair of points and with the property that each point on the path is covered by the least areas. Different the weighted region optimal path problem, the LAPP asks for the cost of each step in path is as low as possible. Based on the...
One fundamental issue in application of wireless sensor networks is to provide proper coverage of their deployment regions, which answers the questions about the quality of service (surveillance or monitoring) that can be provided by a sensor network. In this paper, we consider the point-coverage problem where a given set of n points requires to be covered in the two-dimension (such as monitoring...
This paper is aimed at the extended the contract net protocol (CNP) based on the personal assistant for reducing the cost of communication. The CNP is a powerful coordination mechanism in multi-agent systems. However, the performance of the CNP degrades when the number of agents increases or the announcement is of high frequency. Hence, it has a problem of applicability to large-scale multi-agent...
We present a simple and fast deterministic solution to the area coverage problem in wireless sensor networks. The task is to determine whether all points in a region are covered by a given set of sensors, where each sensor may have any arbitrary sensing shape. We transform the area coverage problem to the intersection points' coverage problem, which is simpler and more suitable for evaluating the...
