The purpose of this research is to realize a small robot which can negotiate pipes whose diameter varies widely during the robot’s course. A new in-pipe locomotion mechanism nam...
In this paper, we consider the issue of constructing an energy-efficient virtual network backbone in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) for broadcasting applications using directiona...
The Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) is a shared resource in the hospital where patients recover from surgery. It is fed by a set of Operating Rooms (OR's) often spanning sev...
A realistic simulation system, which couples geometry and physics, can provide a useful toolkit for virtual environments. Interactions among moving objects in the virtual worlds a...
Parallel independent disks can enhance the performance of external memory (EM) algorithms, but the programming task is often di cult. In this paper we develop randomized variants ...
