This paper addresses the development of general purpose game agents able to learn a vast number of games using the same architecture. The article analyzes the main existing approaches to general game playing, reviews their performance and proposes future research directions. Methods such as deep learning, reinforcement learning and evolutionary algorithms are considered for this problem. The testing...
The CCNx Synchronization protocol is one of the protocols published under the CCNx distribution, and is used to synchronized shared collections of 2 CCNx neighbors. In this paper, we evaluated the performance of the synchronization protocol over different topologies and different network scales.
The downsizing of transistor dimensions enabled in the future nanotechnologies will inevitably increase the number of faults in the complex ULSI chips. To maintain the production yield at acceptable level, several levels of protection mechanisms will have to be implemented to tolerate the permanent and transient faults occurring in the physical layers. In this paper, we study fault tolerance at the...
In this paper, we present a new technique to improve the reliability of H-tree SRAM memories. This technique deals with the SRAM power-bus monitoring by using built-in current sensor (BICS) circuits that detect abnormal current dissipation in the memory power-bus. This abnormal current is the result of a single-event upset (SEU) in the memory and it is generated during the inversion of the state of...
In this paper, we introduce and evaluate ScaleMesh, a scalable miniaturized dual-radio wireless mesh testbed based on IEEE 802.11b/g technology- ScaleMesh can emulate large-scale mesh networks within a miniaturized experimentation area by adaptively shrinking the transmission range of mesh nodes by means of variable signal attenuators. To this end, we derive a theoretical formula for approximating...
We propose an approach to generate and execute tests of the conformance of a system to a given security policy. The method is rule-based: it generates test cases directly from a security policy expressed as a set of security requirements, using two relations: one between predicates appearing in the rules and elementary test cases, called tiles, used to test predicates in the system, and another one...
In recent years, organizations have been shifting focus to their core business competencies, and reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) associated with training and management of their IT infrastructure. In the same motif, organizations are establishing security and survivability frameworks as an integral part of their business strategy so as to provide an acceptable quality-of-service for their clients...
Universal networks offer the advantage that they can execute programs written for simpler architectures without significant run-time overhead. In this paper we investigate simulations of tree machines; the fact that divide-and-conquer algorithms are programmed naturally on trees motivates our investigation. Among various proposals for parallel computing the boolean hypercube has emerged as a particularly...
