We study the source coding problem in sensor networks deployed to monitor the evolution of spatio-temporal temperature distributions. The sensors sample the temperature field, quantize the samples and transmit the encoded samples through digital channels t ...

Today, operational managers are experiencing difficulties in selecting the software that best suits their increasing number of requirements. These decision makers need to clarify what their needs are, what these packages offer and which software packages b ...
The monograph advocates rigorous system design as a coherent and accountable model-based process leading from requirements to correct implementations. It presents the current state of the art in system design, discusses its limitations, and identifies poss ...
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are an essential ingredient in many technological innovations and a source of game-changing inventions in the automotive industry, space exploration, consumer electronics and medical applications due to its capability ...
In computational sciences such as image processing, publishing usually isn’t enough to allow other researchers to verify results. Often, supplementary materials such as source code and measurement data are required. Yet most researchers choose not to make ...
Background: The yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is frequently used as a model for studying the cell cycle. The cells are rod-shaped and divide by medial fission. The process of cell division, or cytokinesis, is controlled by a network of signaling proteins ...
Biconditional Binary Decision Diagrams (BBDDs) are a novel class of binary decision diagrams where the branching condition, and its associated logic expansion, is biconditional on two variables. Reduced and ordered BBDDs are remarkably compact and unique f ...
Despite major advances in the engineering of maintainable and robust software over the years, upgrading software remains a primitive and error-prone activity. In this dissertation, we argue that several problems with upgrading software are caused by a poor ...
Decision procedures are widely used in software development and verification. The goal of this dissertation is to increase the scope of properties that can be verified using decision procedures. To achieve this goal, we identify three improvements over the ...
In this letter, a method for the improved consideration of propagation losses in metallic waveguide structures is presented. The method relies on the perturbation of the boundary conditions on the metallic walls of the waveguides. Following this advanced t ...
