This paper studies the impact of resource reservation on the multi–path Quality–of–Service (QoS) routing schemes that use global network state to make routing decisions. Incorporating resource reservation into multi–path QoS routing algorithms greatly changes the communication characteristics in a network system and affects the performance of the routing algorithms. In this paper, we develop a ...

Reliability analysis for reparable multi-components systems is based on stochastic discrete event models like Markov models or Stochastic Petri Nets (SPNs). When the number of components increases, the analytical expression of the steady state is tedious to work out because of the combinatory explosion with discrete models. For this reason, fluidification is investigated to estimate the asympto...

In this paper, we describe an architecture for the development of autonomy software for multi-robot distributed control and collective estimation. CAMPOUT, the Control Architecture for Multi-Robot Planetary OUTposts, provides communication facilities for sharing of state information across robots and it uses a behavior network for representation and execution of group activities as well as the ...

A new algorithm for the auto-selection of quasi-components and components (QC/Cs) in ‘multi-dimensional quasi-discrete’ model is suggested. This applied to analysis heating evaporation multi-component fuel droplets. It allows one automatically select QC/Cs update initial selection during droplet evaporation. The expected be applicable a wide range fuels blends. can directly implemented into CFD...

This paper addresses the monitoring of logic-independent linear-time user-provided properties on multi-threaded component-based systems. We consider intrinsically independent components that can be executed concurrently with a centralized coordination for multiparty interactions. In this context, the problem that arises is that a global state of the system is not available to the monitor. A nai...

Focusing particularly on one-qubit and two-qubit systems, I explain how the quantum state of a system of n qubits can be expressed as a real function—a generalized Wigner function—on a discrete 2 × 2 phase space. The phase space is based on the finite field having 2 elements, and its geometric structure leads naturally to the construction of a complete set of 2 + 1 mutually conjugate bases. PAC...

Most real systems are very complex and it is difficult to analyze and to improve their reliability. Large numbers of components and subsystems and their operating complexity cause that the evaluation of their reliability is complicated. As a rule these are series systems, parallel systems or “m out of n” systems composed of a large number of components. One of the important techniques for relia...
