  • Zhichao Sun,
  • Yue Wang and
  • Jianyu Yang

23 March 2015

Scanning radar is of notable importance for ground surveillance, terrain mapping and disaster rescue. However, the angular resolution of a scanning radar image is poor compared to the achievable range resolution. This paper presents a deconvolution a...

A Robust Trust Establishment Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks

  • Farruh Ishmanov,
  • Sung Won Kim and
  • Seung Yeob Nam

23 March 2015

Security techniques like cryptography and authentication can fail to protect a network once a node is compromised. Hence, trust establishment continuously monitors and evaluates node behavior to detect malicious and compromised nodes. However, just l...

A Hybrid PCA-CART-MARS-Based Prognostic Approach of the Remaining Useful Life for Aircraft Engines

  • Fernando Sánchez Lasheras,
  • Paulino José García Nieto,
  • Francisco Javier De Cos Juez,
  • Ricardo Mayo Bayón and
  • Victor Manuel González Suárez

23 March 2015

Prognostics is an engineering discipline that predicts the future health of a system. In this research work, a data-driven approach for prognostics is proposed. Indeed, the present paper describes a data-driven hybrid model for the successful predict...

Open Hardware: A Role to Play in Wireless Sensor Networks?

  • Roy Fisher,
  • Lehlogonolo Ledwaba,
  • Gerhard Hancke and
  • Carel Kruger

20 March 2015

The concept of the Internet of Things is rapidly becoming a reality, with many applications being deployed within industrial and consumer sectors. At the ‘thing’ level—devices and inter-device network communication—the core technical building blocks...
