During maintenance, systems are updated to correct faults, improve functionality, and adapt the software to changes in its execution environment. The typical softwareupdate proces...
Abstract— We study the problem of maximizing the aggregated revenue in sensor networks with deadline constraints. Our model is that of a sensor network that is arranged in the fo...
Bipedal robots are di cult to analyze mathematically. However, successful control strategies can be discovered using simple physical intuition and can be described in simple terms...
The particle swarm algorithm contains elements which map fairly strongly to the foraging problem in behavioural ecology. In this paper, we show how some simple adaptions to the sta...
Dynamic reconfiguration allows modifying a system during its execution, and can be used to apply patches and updates, to implement adaptive systems, dynamic instrumentation, or to...
