—Connectivity-based routing protocols use the hop count vector to a group of anchors for packet forwarding. Due to the discrete nature of hop count based coordinates, without an ...
— Facing new tasks, the conventional rigid design of robotic joints has come to its limits. Operating in unknown environments current robots are prone to failure when hitting unf...
Real-time applications typically have to satisfy high dependability requirements and require fault tolerance in both value and time domains. A widely used approach to ensure fault...
— Increasing number of communication softwares are built on distributed architectures based on the Peer-toPeer (P2P) model, such as Skype [1], and PeerCast [2]. This model provid...
Extreme transistor scaling trends in silicon technology are soon to reach a point where manufactured systems will suffer from limited device reliability and severely reduced life...
