Abdullah, M.T. (author)Resources contributed in ad hoc grids are volatile, unreliable and non-dedicated. Furthermore, resource owners contribute resources according to their own use and access policies. This phenomenon necessitates the study of the mechanisms that enable the ad hoc grid to modify its infrastructure in an autonomous way according to varying resource...doctoral thesis 2010

Karami, M.A. (author), Gersbach, M. (author), Yoon, H.J. (author), Charbon, E. (author)We report on the first implementation of a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) in 90nm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The detector features an octagonal multiplication region and a guard ring to prevent premature edge breakdown using a standard mask set exclusively. The proposed structure emerged from a systematic...journal article 2010

Sinaga, S.M. (author)The demand for miniaturization technology has been increasing over the last decades. Consumer electronics end-users often, if not always, go for more functionality and practicality. This is translated into systems that are more complex and yet smaller in size such as smart cellular phones and portable audio/video systems. System on Chip (SoC) is...doctoral thesis 2010
