Well logically verified and tested software may fail because of undesired physical phenomena provoking transient faults during its execution. While being the most frequent kind of faults, transient faults are difficult to ...

A particular goal oriented software design is proposed in this paper: by checking the preservation of critical information, an original proposed program structure has the important property to naturally recover transient ...

This paper presents an overview of a PhD research project, completed tasks and future work. The aim of the research is to contribute to the improvement of gas identification systems at different levels by designing and ...

Recent years have witnessed tremendous success and popularity of mobile applications and services, resulting in an explosive growth in the number of mobile devices, as well as in the range and types of things these devices ...

Multiple access and transmission enhancement in support of carrier aggregation techniques has been actively studied in the 3GPP LTEAdvanced standardization process of the nextgeneration mobile broadband communication ...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are widely applicable in monitoring and control of environment parameters. It is sometimes necessary to disseminate data through wireless links after they are deployed in order to adjust ...

A micro-grid is a small scale power supply network that is designed to provide electricity to a small community with its own renewable energy sources. Due to distributed generation variability, security and load sharing ...

Using vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services, battery vehicles (BVs) may help the smart grid alleviate peaks in power consumption. However, wireless communications infrastructure between BVs and the smart grid also introduce severe ...

A multi-user diversity approach, called Opportunistic Interference Management (OIM), is considered in connection with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The OIM is applied to each consecutive group ...

Using full wave analysis in 'Ansys HFSS', we obtain the electric field distribution inside a jet engine containing one set of 24 blades due to the excitation provided by a simple Hertzian dipole. Hertzian dipole illuminates ...
