— By using self-assembling fabrication techniques at the cellular, molecular, or atomic scale, it is nowadays possible to create functional assemblies in a mainly bottom-up way t...
In this paper we introduce a design methodology that allows the system/circuit designer to build reliable systems out of unreliable nano-scale components. The central point of our...

This paper studies the problem of maximizing the number of correct results of dependent tasks computed unreliably. We consider a distributed system composed of a reliable server th...
The distributed data storage on unreliable devices, connected by a short-range radio network is analyzed. Failing devices incur loss of data. To prevent the loss, the data is spli...
In most multiagent systems with communicating agents, the agents have the luxury of using reliable, multi-step negotiation protocols. They can do so primarily when communication i...
