While promising many advantages, these networks also pose new challenges. The limited radio coverage, unreliable nature of the wireless channel, and mobility of network nodes can lead to frequent disrupti...

In this article we apply the Stenberg criteria to show that the Taylor-Hood P2 − P1 and the Scott-Vogelius P2 − discP1 element pairs satisfy the LBB condition in IR. The Taylor-Hood P2 − P1 pair is shown to be stable on a regular triangulation of the domain. For the ScottVogelius P2−discP1 element pair the mesh is assumed to be a barycenter refinement of a regular triangulation.

This paper examines and compares several of the most common real time methods. These methods are CORE, YSM, MASCOT, JSD, DARTS, RTSAD, ADARTS, CODARTS, HOOD, HRT-HOOD, ROOM, UML, UML-RT. The methods are compared using attributes like i) usability, ii) compositionality and iii) proper RT notations available. Finally some comparison results are given and discussed.
