Random Test Run Length and Effectiveness
Abstract—A poorly understood but important factor in random testing is the selection of a maximum length for test runs. Given a limited time for testing, it is seldom clear wheth...

An approach to online optimization of heuristic coordination algorithms
Due to computational intractability, large scale coordination algorithms are necessarily heuristic and hence require tuning for particular environments. In domains where character...

R-Sentry: Providing Continuous Sensor Services against Random Node Failures
The success of sensor-driven applications is reliant on whether a steady stream of data can be provided by the underlying system. This need, however, poses great challenges to sen...
