—We consider surveillance applications in which sensors are deployed in large numbers to improve coverage fidelity. Previous research has studied how to select active sensor cov...
—As the complexity of the integrated circuits increases, they become more susceptible to manufacturing faults, decreasing the total process yield. Thus, it would be desirable to ...
