Researchers have developed new algorithms to enhance the reliability of data center networks (DCNs) by constructing fault-tolerant paths and maximum ...

Most of you have used a navigation app like Google Maps for your travels at some point. These apps rely on algorithms that compute shortest paths through vast networks. Now imagine scaling that task ...

Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...

Medicare Advantage plans’ increasing use of predictive algorithms to assist in “high-stakes” decisions is leading to substantial and immediate cuts to nursing home lengths of stay, a new study ...

For the low efficiency and poor generalization ability of path planning algorithm of industrial robots, this work proposes an adaptive field co-sampling algorithm (AFCS). Firstly, the environment ...

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 ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an improved Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (IRRT) algorithm designed to address the challenges of path planning for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in complex ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

Analytical chemistry researchers at the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (HIMS) have developed a novel algorithm that significantly improves the analysis of ...

A method for determining the average photon path length in a slab of multiple scattering material is presented. Radiances can be obtained from the radiative transfer equation and subsequently ...
