This paper defines an approach to simulation of natural systems, inspired by complex systems theory. A complex natural system is modeled as a multi-agent simulation system, agents...
Robustness has become a popular issue in engineering. For products, Taguchi suggests to adjust the design so that product performance is insensitive to the effects of uncontrolled...
Target tracking is an important issue in wireless sensor network applications. In this paper, we design a Coverage-Hole Trap Model (CTM) based on a system that contains one moving...
We examine distributed time-synchronization in mobile ad-hoc and sensor networks. The problem is to estimate the skews and offsets of clocks of all the nodes with respect to an arb...
In practice, managers often wish to ascertain that a particular engineering design of a production system meets their requirements. The future environment of this design is likely...
