The progressing global digitalization is driving innovative network technologies, computation platforms, and data-driven services. The number of components such as sensors, actuators, computing, storage, and network nodes, as well as a variety of service applications increases a…
Networking involves every aspect in the design of the network infrastructure from the selection/synthesis of the interconnection topology to what communication protocols it should use and how it should be deployed and maintained. A large body of literature is available on these …
New technological advances and the requirements to increasingly abide by new safety laws in engineering design projects highly affects industrial products in areas such as automotive, aerospace and railway industries. The necessity arises to design reduced-cost hi-tech products …
High Redundancy Actuation (HRA) is a novel type of fault tolerant actuator. By comprising a relatively large number of actuation elements, faults in the elements can be inherently accommodated without resulting in a failure of the complete actuation system. By removing the possi…
Traditionally, distributed systems requiring high dependability were designed using custom hardware with massive amounts of redundancy. Not only the nodes, but the network, was replicated in most of these systems. Recently, the need for cost reduction and access to the latest co…
Threshold Logic technology is conceived as the crucial alternate emerging technology to CMOS implementation in nanoelectronic era and the realization of complex functionalities is becoming an increasingly promising approach in the deep sub-micron design era. The gate that is imp…
As CMOS manufacturing technology approaches fundamental limits, researchers are looking for revolutionary technologies beyond the end of the CMOS roadmap. Recent progress on devices, nano-manufacturing, and assembling of nanoscale structures is driving researchers to explore pos…
Continued scaling of device dimensions and operating voltage reduces the critical charge and thus natural noise tolerance level of transistors. As a result, circuits can produce transient upsets that corrupt program execution and data. To prevent operational failure due to these…
Clusters of message-passing computing nodes provide high-performance platforms for distributed applications. Cost-effective implementations of such systems are based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software components. One trend in the deployment of such systems …
By leveraging the enormous amount of computational capabilities, scientists today are being able to make significant progress in solving problems, ranging from finding cure to cancer -- to using fusion in solving world's clean energy crisis. The number of computational component…
The adoption of cloud computing technology is increasing day by day due to its enormous services and low cost. Customers transfer their businesses to cloud because of the beneficial cloud features such as scalability, high performance, on-demand, and pay-per-use service model. H…
