The Virtual Filament Model

In the present work, a framework is proposed for studying autonomous agents which interact locally yet effect a globally coherent behavior. This problem of locally induced organization is ubiquitous in decentralized multi-robot environments and … Contents 1 A Continuum Approach to Formation

Benzocyclobutene-based Electric Micromachines Supported on Microball Bearings: Design, Fabrication, and Characterization

This dissertation summarizes the research activities that led to the development of the first microball-bearing-supported linear electrostatic micromotor with benzocyclobutene (BCB) low-k polymer insulating layers. The primary application of this device is long-range, high-speed linear micropositioning. The future generations of this device

Development and Evaluation of Methodologies for Vulnerability Analysis of Ad-hoc Routing Protocols

This thesis presents a number methodologies for computer assisted vulnerability analysis of routing protocols in ad-hoc networks towards the goal of automating the process of finding vulnerabilities (possible attacks) on such network routing protocols and correcting the protocols. The methodologies developed are
