Automatic Extraction of Concealed Relations From Email Logs
People interact with each other for various reasons. Based on the purpose of the relationship, these interactions exhibit certain characteristics. One such important characteristic is that of concealment. Concealed relations can often be a source of interest especially in the domain of counterterrorism where relations fostering malicious activities tend to...

On Greedy Construction of Connected Dominating Sets in Wireless Networks
Since no fixed infrastructure and no centralized management present in wireless net-works, a Connected Dominating Set CDS of the graph representing the network is widely used as a virtual backbone. Constructing a minimum CDS is NP-hard. This paper proposes a new greedy algorithm, called S-MIS, with the help of Steiner...

OFDM or Single-Carrier Block Transmissions?
This paper compares two block transmission systems over frequency-selective fading channels: orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing OFDM versus single-carrier modulated blocks with zero padding ZP. It first compares their peak-to-average power ratio PAR and the corresponding power amplifier backoff for phase-shift keying or quadrature amplitude modulation. Then it studies the effects of...
