As chip integration continues to increase and technology scaling is forcing the operating voltage to decrease, modern designs have become more susceptible to supply voltage noise. However, even with a well designed power distribution network, modern at-speed test pattern generation techniques do not consider the maximum current throughput the network will be able to provide. As a result, conven...

Controller Area Network (CAN) was initially developed as an in-vehicle real-time communication bus. Due to its low cost and high reliability, it has also become a widely accepted standard in industrial distributed control applications. The CAN protocol has an event-triggered architecture. Although its priority based medium access mechanism provides guaranteed immediate access for the highest pr...

Clusters and distributed systems offer two important advantages, viz. fault tolerance and high performance through load sharing. When all computers are up and running, we would like the load to be evenly distributed among the computers. When one or more computers break down the load on these computers must be redistributed to other computers in the cluster. The redistribution is determined by t...

Traffic anomalies and distributed attacks are commonplace in today’s networks. Single point detection is often insufficient to determine the causes, patterns and prevalence of such events. Most existing distributed intrusion detection systems (DIDS) rely on centralized fusion, or distributed fusion with unscalable communication mechanisms. In this paper, we propose to build a distributed IDS ba...

Time-dependent Vehicle Routing Problem is one of the most applicable but least-studied variants of routing and scheduling problems. In this paper, a novel mathematical formulation of time-dependent vehicle routing problems with heterogeneous fleet, hard time widows and multiple depots, is proposed. To deal with the traffic congestions, we also considered that the vehicles are not forced to come...

An analysis is suggested to study the impact of Hall currents in Jeffrey fluid which is chemically reactive through a porous medium limited by a semi-infinite vertical permeable plate within the existence of heat generation. An evenly distributed magnetic field turns vertically on the porous surface which absorbs the Jeffrey fluid with a changed suction velocity with time. The analytical expres...
