This paper presents an innovative metric based on a class abstraction to capture aspects of software complexity through combinations of class characteristics. The study also used software metrics effectiveness in finding the classes in different error categories for the three versions of Eclipse, the Java-based open-source Integrated Development Environment. Many studies used Logistic regressio...

The Eager, Lazy and Movement-based strategies are used in mobile computing system when handoff. They result in performance loss while moving the whole checkpoint on fault-free or slow recovery while not moving any checkpoint until recovery. In the paper, a compromise strategy is proposed. The whole recovery information are broken into two parts, which one little part with high-priority should b...

The AUTOSAR standard simplifies the complexity of automotive system design with its layered and modular software architecture. Currently, this standard has no support for fault-tolerance. Fault-tolerance will be required in the design of the future automotive systems to avoid catastrophic system failures and hazardous events. In this thesis, we present a study of fault-tolerance by means of sof...

The needs of the pore ccording to a model that has prevailed since the early 1990s, nuclear import complexes need to dock to the cytoplasmic filaments of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) before they can be translocated to the nucleus. On page 63, Walther et al. A overturn this idea, demonstrating that cytoplasmic filaments have no essential function in the nuclear import of bulk cargos. The resul...

An expert panel was established to formulate aconsensus statement on Skin Changes At Life’s End(SCALE). The panel consists of 18 internationallyrecognized key opinion leaders including clinicians,caregivers, medical researchers, legal experts,academicians, a medical writer and leaders ofprofessional organizations. The inaugural forum washeld on April 4-6, 2008 in...

In this paper, we present a novel localized movement control algorithm to form a fault-tolerant bi-connected robotic network topology from a connected network, such that total distance of movement of robots is minimized. The proposed distributed algorithm uses p-hop neighbor information to identify critical head robots that can direct two neighbors to move toward each other and bi-connect their...
