- Embedded Programming With the Microsoft .NET Micro Framework
- Embedded system design, like any design task, involves making a series of tradeoffs. Software developers seem always to be the victim of many of these tradeoffs, as one is forced to wade through a myriad of arcane kernels, drivers, development tools, techniques, and documentation instead of doing what one enjoys...

- Tradeoffs Between Density, Reliability and Total Cost of Ownership in Power Systems
- As vendors strive for initial sales advantage, design for smaller/lighter/cheaper is invariably hotter, denser and less reliable, to the detriment of the primary system goals of maximum performance and reliability while minimizing total cost of ownership. As these attributes are pushed, the designer is often obliged to reduce the number...

- Data-Enhanced Predictive Modeling for Sales Targeting
- This paper describes and analyzes the idea of Data-Enhanced predictive Modeling DEM. The term "Enhanced" here refers to the case that the data used for modeling is sampled not from the true target population, but from an alternative closely related population, from which much larger samples are available. This leads...

- Energy-Delay Tradeoffs for Data Collection in TDMA-Based Sensor Networks
- This paper considers a wireless sensor network where the nodes have limited energy. The paper first analyzes the delay performance of a transmission scheme based on time division multiple access TDMA. A simple link scheduling algorithm is proposed to find the minimum-delay schedule given the slot lengths for all the...
