Memories: A Photo Feature [PDF]
, 2012 The following is a small selection of the photographs I took during my 12 months with UNPROFOR. In the Spring of 1993, WO Stebbings and myself were the first Terrain Analysis Team sent to UNPROFOR Headquarters, Zagreb, Croatia. We were actually the first

More is less: Connectivity in fractal regions [PDF]
, 2015 Ad-hoc networks are often deployed in regions with complicated boundaries. We show that if the boundary is modeled as a fractal, a network requiring line of sight connections has the counterintuitive property that increasing the number of nodes decreases
