In this paper, we formulate the array robustness theorems (ARTs) for efficient computation and communication on faulty arrays. No hardware redundancy is required and no assumptio...
Portable systems such as cell phones and portable media players commonly use non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) to hold all of their data and metadata, and larger systems can store metadata...
Shrinking devices to the nanoscale, increasing integration densities, and reducing of voltage levels down to the thermal limit, all conspire to produce faulty systems. Frequent oc...

We consider a system with a dispatcher and several identical servers in parallel. Task processing times are known upon arrival. We first study the impact of the local scheduling ...
A network is k-connected if it remains connected after the removal of any k - 1 of its nodes. Assume that n sensors, modeled here as (omni)directional antennas, are dropped random...
