When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

Broadcast TV continues to draw big audiences. And they are increasingly getting special events, award shows and sports — lots of sports. By John Koblin MTV’s “Video Music Awards” had been a cable-only ...

Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) nowadays have been widely used in ocean observation missions, helping researchers to monitor climate change, collect environmental data, and observe marine ecosystem ...

ABSTRACT: In any military operation, reliable logistics is essential to maintaining a combat-effective force. Without the continual resupply of ammunition, food, and other materiel, forces cannot ...

Aiming at the problems of slow network convergence, poor reward convergence stability, and low path planning efficiency of traditional deep reinforcement learning algorithms, this paper proposes a ...

ABSTRACT: This paper proposes an efficient strategy for resource utilization in Elastic Optical Networks (EONs) to minimize spectrum fragmentation and reduce connection blocking probability during ...
