ABSTRACT. We introduce tools from computational homology to verify coverage in an idealized sensor network. Our methods are unique in that, while they are coordinate-free and assum...
A total order protocol is a fundamental building block in the construction of distributed fault-tolerant applications. Unfortunately, the implementation of such a primitive can be...
Estimates suggest that more than 75% of engineering design activity comprises reuse of previous design knowledge to address a new design problem. Reusing design knowledge has grea...
Ontologies play a crucial role in the development of the Semantic Web as a means for defining shared terms in web resources. They are formulated in web ontology languages, which a...
With the explosive growth of embedded computing hardware, it is possible to conceive many new networked robotic applications for diverse domains ranging from urban search and resc...
