Abstract: Spatial crowdsourcing, a human-centric compelling paradigm in performing spatial tasks, has drawn rising attention. Task assignment is of paramount importance in spatial crowdsourcing.

Abstract: Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has the potential for cost-efficiency, manage-convenience, and flexibility services but meanwhile poses challenges for the service function chain (SFC) ...

Combinatorial optimization is of general interest for both theoretical study and real-world applications. Fast-developing quantum algorithms provide a different perspective on solving combinatorial ...

Accurate target detection and association are vital for the development of reliable target tracking, especially for cell tracking based on microscopy images due to the similarity of cells. We propose ...

A large number of sparse signal reconstruction algorithms have been continuously proposed, but almost all greedy algorithms add a fixed number of indices to the support set in each iteration. Although ...

There are currently more than 100,000 patients on the waiting list in the United States for a kidney transplant from a deceased donor. To address this shortage, kidney exchange programs allow patients ...

Understanding NP-complete problems is a central topic in computer science (NP stands for nondeterministic polynomial time). This is why adiabatic quantum optimization has attracted so much attention, ...
