Design space exploration of embedded systems typically focuses on classical design goals such as cost, timing, buffer sizes, and power consumption. Robustness criteria, i.e. sensi...
Introducing mobile data sinks into wireless sensor networks (WSNs) improves the energy efficiency and the network lifetime, and is demanded for many application scenarios, such a...
Large-scale systems like BlueGene/L are susceptible to a number of software and hardware failures that can affect system performance. Periodic application checkpointing is a commo...
Being embedded in the physical world, sensor networks present a wide range of bugs and misbehavior qualitatively different from those in most distributed systems. Unfortunately, d...
