constraints. The interference matrix of a BS consists of all the interfering vectors at that BS. The proposed algorithm approximates rank using the weighted Frobenius norm and iteratively updates the weights so that the weighted Frobenius norm is a close approximation of the rank of the interference matrix.

, and imprisonments each year in the 1860s and early 1870s were the product of 19th century laws that were explicitly designed to enforce labor contracts in growing industries. Enforcement of Master and Servant Law In Victorian times, until 1875, the 1823 Master and Servant Act (and its revision in 1867) governed

with neighbor subspaces and then updated by comput-ing a weighted sum of the local and received estimates. To comply with the consistency requirement, the resultant values are projected to local constraint sets. By employing the existing rules and results of the field, it has shown that the dual task

. The solver can then enforce bound-consistency on all unary constraints in time Õ(k) where k is the set cardinality. In analogy with finite-domain solvers, non-unary constraints can be viewed as inference rules generating new unary constraints. The re-sulting set solver achieves a pruning (at least

this report, we use the ECAA (Event-Condition-Action-Alternative action) rule paradigm to model the constraints of BODs at build-time and validate these constraints at run-time. The BOD modeling and validation system we developed consists of a set of build-time components and a set of run

conceptual model for the software update tools in WSNs. Three components of this model that we study are the execution environment at the sensor nodes, the software distribution protocol in the network and optimization of transmitted updates. We present the design space of each component and discuss in

Abstract — Given some geometric elements such as points and lines in , subject to a set of pairwise distance constraints, the problem tackled in this paper is that of finding all possible configurations of these elements that satisfy the constraints. Many problems in Robotics (such

I would like to thank some people who were involved in the creation of this thesis: • Berry Schoenmakers of TU Eindhoven for introducing me to the topic of cryptographic voting protocols. • Evangelos Karatsiolis for his work in guiding me through the process of writing this thesis and his constant motivation. • Roberto Samarone Araujo for hours of discussing various protocols with Evengelos and me. • Warren D. Smith for providing with a preliminary version of his upcoming book »How Mathematics can Improve Democracy«. • Ute Günther and Christian Burgmann for their proof-reading. Nonetheless, any remaing errors shall be blamed on me. • Andrea Peter for her love and for cheering me up when I was down. • Last but not least my parents, Jacqueline Herrnkind and Hans Peter Klink – without their love and continuous support, this thesis would never have been written.
