Although roughly 0.6% of the U.S. population is wheelchair-bound, the strain of travel is such that more than twice that amount relies on wheelchairs in airports [Haseltine Systems Corp. 2006]. Two issues have the greatest impact on the cost and eff
The user-driven dynamics of peer participation, or churn, are an inherent property of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems that should be taken into account in both the design and evaluation of any P2P application. While prior studies have shown that peer par
In the realm of FPGAs, many tool vendors offer behaviorally-based simulators aimed at easing the complexity of large FPGA designs. At times, a behaviorally-modeled design does not work in hardware as expected or intended. VTsim, a Virtex-II device s
In this book, the basic definitions, models, methods, and algorithms for cyber physical computing, as the entity of the new Internet of Things (IoT) cyberculture of monitoring and management of virtual and physical processes and phenomena, are propo
Dual-pumped microring-resonator-based optical frequency combs (OFCs) and their temporal characteristics are numerically investigated and experimentally explored. The calculation results obtained by solving the driven and damped nonlinear Schr?dinger
The key to enterprise process simulation and process enactment is to implement enterprise process cooperative schedule, i.e., how to control the execution order of the scheduled activities according to cooperative behavior rules under resource constr
