We address the multi-satellite scheduling problem with limited observation capacities that arises from the need to observe a set of targets on the Earth's surface using imaging resources installed on a set of satellites. We define and…

In diffusion-based molecular communication, information transport is governed by diffusion through a fluid medium. The achievable data rates for these channels are very low compared to the radio-based communication system, since diffusion…

Strategic information disclosure, in its simplest form, considers a game between an information provider (sender) who has access to some private information that an information receiver is interested in. While the receiver takes an action…
