Flooding to Restore Connectivity of Regulated, Large-River Wetlands

Flooding along the river

Rock-a-bye bone marrow Chemotherapy saves the lives of many cancer patients. However, it is a difficult treatment that induces many major side effects, with one of the most common being myelosuppression—depletion of bone marrow cells. The consequences of myelosuppression include anemia, thrombocytopenia, and neutropenia, all of which can cause severe complications and delay subsequent courses o...

Exploiting skeletonization to restore connectivity in a wireless sensor network

Recent technological advances and an increasing thrust toward automation have resulted in a rapid adoption of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) as the de facto choice in monitoring and surveillance applications. Their low cost, versatility and ability to operate around the clock in inhospitable terrains without endangering human life make WSNs ideal for applications like space exploration, enviro...

Demo: Deploying a Drone to Restore Connectivity in a WSN

This paper describes our demonstration of a network repair problem where a drone places a new sensor node to replace a failed node in order to heal the connectivity for a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). It serves to show the potential of our published solutions for automated network repair when the repairing agent is a drone.
