Although a self-stabilizing system that suffers from a transient fault is guaranteed to converge to a legitimate state after a finite number of steps, the convergence can be slow ...
Energy conservation is a critical issue in wireless ad hoc networks since batteries are the only energy source to power the nodes. One major metric for energy conservation is to r...
This paper presents a generic approach to mesh global optimization via node movement, based on a discrete graph-theoretic model. Mesh is considered as an electric system with lump...
Converting a conventional contract into an electronic equivalent that can be executed and enforced by computers is a challenging task. The difficulties are caused by the ambiguiti...
Recent research on processor microarchitecture suggests using instruction criticality as a metric to guide hardware control policies. Fields et al. [3, 4] have proposed a directed...
