Runtime verification of component-based embedded software
(Springer, 2011)
To deal with increasing size and complexity, component-based software development has been employed in embedded systems. Due to several faults, components can make wrong assumptions about the working mode of the system and ...
Engineering with and for light absorption and scattering: a quarter century of experimental research at RTL
(Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti, 2011)
Characterization of particles requires detailed understanding of light interaction with homogeneous/inhomogeneous and regular/irregular shaped particles, or fractallike structures, within optically thin or thick media. ...
Discrete dipole approximation of gold nanospheres on substrates: considerations and comparison with other discretization methods
(AAPP Physical, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences, 2011)
We embark on this preliminary study of the suitability of the discrete dipole approximation with surface interaction (DDA-SI) method to model electric field scattering from noble metal nano-structures on dielectric substrates. ...
Relay selection in dual-hop vehicular networks
(IEEE, 2011-02)
In this letter, we investigate cooperative diversity with relay selection over cascaded Rayleigh fading channels. In particular, we analyze the performance of a relay selection scheme for cooperative vehicular networks ...
Lane-exchange mechanisms for truckload carrier collaboration
(Informs, 2011-02)
Because of historically high fuel prices, the trucking industry's operating expenses are higher than ever and thus profit margins are lower than ever. To cut costs, the trucking industry is searching for and exploring new ...
Finding event correlations in federated wireless sensor networks
(IEEE, 2011)
Event correlation engines help us find events of interest inside raw sensor data streams and help reduce the data volume, simultaneously. This paper discusses some of the challenges faced in finding event correlations over ...
Outage analysis of Hybrid-ARQ protocols in coherent free-space optical communications
(IEEE, 2011)
In this paper, we investigate the performance of automatic retransmission request (ARQ) protocols in coherent free-space optical (FSO) communications. Specifically, we study the outage performance of three different ...
DMT analysis of multi-hop coherent FSO communication over atmospheric channels
(IEEE, 2011)
In this paper, we investigate the diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) of a multi-hop coherent free-space optical (FSO) system over atmospheric channels. We consider a relay-assisted FSO system with decode-and-forward ...
EM-based joint time delay and channel estimation for cooperative communications
(IEEE, 2011)
In this paper, we study joint time delay and channel estimation for a cooperative communication system with amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying. The proposed joint estimator is based on Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm ...
Discrete-dipole approximation with surface interaction: computational toolbox for MATLAB
(Elsevier, 2011-07)
We describe a MATLAB toolbox that utilizes the discrete-dipole approximation (DDA) method for modelling light interaction with arbitrarily-shape scatterers in free space as well with planar surface interaction (DDA-SI). ...
