Video streaming services have become prominent in the last decade. As any other cloud service, these services are error-prone, and the errors during startup and/or playback affect the viewing experience of end-users. Hence, the calculation of Quality-of-...

Various types of errors can propagate in networks, and they are usually hard to diagnose. For example, social networks spread rumors as well as useful information. Computer networks can spread Internet worms or malicious packets. In many cases, it is ...

An increasing number of mobile applications, like indoor-navigation or augmented reality, rely on highly accurate inertial sensor systems. However, there exists no standardized test for common inertial sensors, like accelerometers and gyroscopes to ...

Fault tolerance rapidly evolves into one of the most significant design objectives for embedded systems due to reduced semiconductor structures and supply voltages. However, resource-constrained systems cannot afford traditional error correction for ...

Traditional Markov reliability model used to predict the total number of errors in the software and the failure interval, but did not consider the impact of the severity of the error. However, in some cases, such as software trustworthiness, we must ...

Link failure and unreachable nodes due to interference from external devices are common problems in WSNs. These interferences can be a major inhibitor to node performance and network stability. In order to tolerate these failures, we propose an immune-...

This paper aims to investigate the training effects on the operation errors of Chinese operators when they conduct spaceflight emergent tasks with different complexity. Twenty-eight operators participated in one training experiment and took nine tasks ...

We present an inference algorithm for perturbation models based on Poisson regression. The algorithm is designed to handle unclassified input with multiple errors described by independent mal-rules. This knowledge representation provides an intelligent ...

Data transfer in distributed environment is prone to frequent failures resulting from back-end system level problems, like connectivity failure which is technically untraceable by users. Error messages are not logged efficiently, and sometimes are not ...

Human evaluation of translation involves many aspects. In this paper we try to make some quantitative analyses on factors influencing translation scores generated by human. We focus on some linguistic features especially some translation error types ...

Evaluation of bit error rate (BER) of digital communication systems is usually done via simulation using Monte Carlo (MC) method. For low BER, MC method requires huge sample sizes to achieve certain efficiency. To overcome this limitation, many variance ...

Most studies on errors in human-computer interactions (HCI errors) focused on how to improve system to reduce errors. Because HCI errors are inevitable, studies taking users' perspective on how users recover from errors are equally important to enhance ...

Today, many electronic systems are developed using a hardware description language, a kind of software that can be converted into integrated circuits or programmable logic devices. Like traditional software projects, hardware projects have bugs, and ...

In this paper, we depart from TCP-Probing (Tsaoussidis and Badr, 2000) and propose an experimental transport protocol that achieves energy and throughput performance gains in mixed wired and wireless environments. Our approach decouples error recovery ...

Dependability is a qualitative term referring to a system's ability to meet its service requirements in the presence of faults. The types and number of faults covered by a system play a primary role in determining the level of dependability which that ...

The least-angle strategy is a common wayfinding method that can be applied in unknown environments if the target direction is known. The strategy is based on the navigator's heuristic to select the street segment at an intersection which is most in line ...

Within many of the large IT companies, systems are being developed iteratively. This iterative development is often guided by the results of usability trials, where systems are tested with user in 'usability laboratories'. Much of the analysis of these ...
