Regression testing is the process of validating modified software to assure that changed parts of software behave as intended and unchanged parts of software have not been adversely affected by the modification. The regression test suite is typically large and needs an intelligent method to choose those test cases which will reduce the overall test cost. In this situation, test case prioritizat...

new advances in mass spectrometry-based proteomics technology are having amajor impact on our understanding of how human spermatozoa acquire their capacity for fertilization. a complete analysis of the proteins found in the human spermatozoa is essential for understanding the events leading up to, and including, fertilization and early embryo development. in this short review, we have collected...

With the decreasing feature size of today’s nanoelectronic circuits, the susceptibility to transient failures increases. New robust and self-adaptive designs are developed, which can handle transient error to some extent, but at the same time make testing for permanent faults more difficult. This paper reviews the “signature rollback“ scheme as a strategy to minimize both test time and yield lo...

An application framework provides a reusable design and implementation for a family of software systems. Frameworks are introduced to reduce the cost of a product line (i.e., family of products that share the common features) and to increase the maintainability of software products through the deployment of reliable large-scale reusable components. A key challenge with frameworks is the develop...

The arrangement of video sensors in closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems, for instance can have drastic effects on the efficiency and cost of the final system. In the present work, I describe a tool designed for rapid construction of simulated video sensor layouts that allows quantification of sensor coverage and cost estimation to be determined prior to installation; thus, avoiding costly ...

1. Abstract While many technologies currently available for fixed broadband wireless can only provide line of sight (LOS) coverage, the technology behind WiMAX has been optimized to provide excellent non line of sight (NLOS) coverage. WiMAX’s advanced technology provides the best of both worlds – large coverage distances of up to 50 kilometers under LOS conditions and typical cell radii of up t...

In this paper we introduce the use of Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations in order to facilitate OTM implementation and to evaluate fault coverage quantitatively even for parametric faults. Thanks to a case study, we demonstrate the contribution of MC simulations for both tolerance range and test efficiency determination.

The Internet of Things (IoT) promises widespread connection of sensors and devices such that smart cities, connected transport and other similar visions can be realised. However, to realise this a new wireless technology is required that is optimised for this particular application, providing very low cost, extremely long battery life and excellent coverage. This wireless technology needs to be...

The Coverage Control Technology is the one of the basic technologies of wireless sensor network, and is mainly concerned about how to prolong the network lifetime on the basis of meeting user’s perception demand. Among this technology, localized area coverage algorithm in the study of area coverage technology is gradually attracting wide attention, for its less traffic and lower single-node com...
