Emergence is a concept that is not easy to grasp, since it contradicts our idea of central control and planning. In this work, we use a swarm of robots as a tangible tool to visua...
This paper proposes a method to optimize the performance of tandem source–channel coding with respect to the mean-squared error by exploiting the unequal error protection coding...
A significant fraction of soft errors in modern microprocessors has been reported to never lead to a system failure. Any concurrent error detection scheme that raises alarm every ...
This paper presented a hierarchical power management architecture which aims to facilitate power-awareness in an Energy-Managed Computer (EMC) system with multiple components. The...
Abstract. A long-running transaction is an interactive component of a distributed system which must be executed as if it were a single atomic action. In principle, it should not be...
