We address distributed real-time applications represented by systems of non-preemptive dependent periodic tasks. This system is described by an acyclic directed graph. Because the...
Many real processes are composed of a n-fold repetition of some simpler process. If the whole process can be modelled with a neural network, we present a method to derive a model ...
Abstract-- In this paper we consider the problem of monitoring a known set of stationary features (or locations of interest) in an environment. To observe a feature, a robot must v...
— For most of wireless services with variable rate transmission, both average rate and rate oscillation are important performance metrics. One often needs to decide how much rate...
Recent work has shown that the use of switched current methods can provide an effective route to implementation of analog IC functionality using a standard digital CMOS process. Fu...
