It is challenging to transform an arbitrary quantum circuit into a form protected by surface code quantum error correcting codes (a variant of topological quantum error correction), especially if the goal is to minimise overhead. One of the…
Sensor networks, such as ultra-wideband sensors for the smart warehouse, may need to run distributed algorithms for automatically determining a topological layout. In this paper, we present 5 different self-stabilizing algorithms (their…
Scheduling is a key decision-making process to improve the performance of flexible manufacturing systems. Place-timed Petri nets provide a formal method for graphically modeling and analyzing such systems. By generating reachability graphs…
Industrial embedded systems are typically used to execute simple control algorithms due to their low computational resources. Despite these limitations, the implementation of advanced control techniques such as Model Predictive Control…
The multi-pumping resource sharing technique can overcome the limitations commonly found in single-clocked FPGA designs by allowing hardware components to operate at a higher clock frequency than the surrounding system. However, this…
This paper presents a novel repeater insertion algorithm for interconnect power minimization. The novelty of our approach is in the judicious integration of an analytical solver and a dynamic programming based method. Specifically, the…
In this paper, we devise a scheduling algorithm for ordering transmission of synchrophasor data from the substation to the control center in as short a time frame as possible, within the realtime hierarchical communications infrastructure…
The discovery and optimization of phase-change and shape memory alloys remain a tedious and expensive process. Here a simple computational method is proposed to determine the ideal phase-change material for a given alloy composed of three…
Consider an arbitrary network of communicating modules on a chip, each requiring a local signal telling it when to execute a computational step. There are three common solutions to generating such a local clock signal: (i) by deriving it…
A new model of causal failure is presented and used to solve a novel replica placement problem in data centers. The model describes dependencies among system components as a directed graph. A replica placement is defined as a subset of…
Positioning systems in self-organizing networks generally rely on measurements such as delay and received signal strength, which may be difficult to obtain and often require dedicated equipment. An alternative to such approaches is to use…
