In this paper, we study the problem of semantic part segmentation for animals. This is more
challenging than standard object detection, object segmentation and pose estimation tasks …

Network survivability is the ability of a network to stay connected under failures and attacks,
which is a fundamental issue to the design and performance evaluation of wireless ad hoc …

Wireless sensor network (WSN) should be capable of fulfilling its mission, in a timely
manner, in the middle of intrusion, attacks, accidents and failures in hostile environment …

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are self-configuring infrastructure-less networks
comprised of mobile nodes that communicate over wireless links without any central control …

A large portion of the network capacity of an ad hoc network can be wasted by the medium
access mechanisms of omni-directional antennas. To overcome this problem, researchers …

As the size of networks increases continuously, dealing with networks with faulty nodes
becomes unavoidable. In this dissertation, we introduce a new measure for network fault …

Security and Privacy are two important parameters that need to be considered when dealing
with wireless sensor networks as WSN operate in an unattended environment and carry …

This paper proposes an adaptive nonlinear controller to stabilize an autonomous wheeled
mobile robot. The controller equations are obtained following a backstepping approach. The …

Recently WSN has become one of the most interesting networking technologies since it can
be deployed without communication infrastructures. The cluster-based wireless sensor …

Mobile ad hoc networks have a wide range of application usage today, due to its great
services, easy installation and configuration, and its other distinctive characteristics. In …
