− A new type of actuator is presented where Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wires are embedded within artificial “blood vessels.” Fluid flowing through vessels allows the SMA wires ...
The full-custom CMOS realization of a new modular sorting architecture is presented. The high-performance architecture is based on rank ordering, and on efficient implementation o...
Functional verification of complex designs largely relies on the use of simulation in conjunction high-level verification languages (HVL) and test-bench automation (TBA) tools. In...
This paper presents our research on devising a dependability assessment method for the upcoming OGSA 3.0 middleware using network level fault injection. We compare existing DCE mi...
Traditional security systems are not easily scalable and can become single points of failure or performance bottlenecks when used on a large-scale distributed system such as the I...
