Research activity in the area of wireless sensor networks has grown dramatically in the past few years, driven by advances in miniaturized hardware, and motivated by a vast array of potential applications. Only a small number of sensor networks have been deployed, and these are mainly used for research purposes. Early experiences highlight a lack of predictability in relation to cost, performan...

A single unicast index coding problem (SUICP) with symmetric neighboring interference (SNI) has equal number of K messages and K receivers, the kth receiver Rk wanting the kth message xk and having the side-information Kk = (Ik∪xk) , where Ik = {xk−U , . . . , xk−2, xk−1}∪{xk+1, xk+2, . . . , xk+D} is the interference with D messages after and U messages before its desired message. Maleki, Cada...

The communication environment within organizations provides multiple opportunities for informational retrieval throughout the day. While previous research has explored media choice from a sender’s perspective, little research has explored the choices receivers or targets make in attending to messages and information streams. This paper explores the process that targets use to evaluate messages ...

In this paper we consider the detection of a moving point target using Along-Track (AT) InSAR systems. We consider two cases: conventionally and one bit coded raw data. The performance of the system is evaluated by comparing the probabilities of false alarm and detection.

Australia has unique experience with merchant and regulated interconnectors that is relevant to the international debate on transmission investment and its regulation. Contrary to a widespread view, and regardless of differences of opinion about market power and stranding risks, the proposed regulated interconnector would be uneconomic despite having eventually been approved. Australian experie...
