| Fragile families and family law | This paper reviews how family law in the United States impacts upon fragile families in four ways. First, it discusses how fragile families are invisible to much of family law, and are largely ignored or neglected in family law. Second, it reviews family law reforms that have been intended to hel... | Legal issues; Statute; Ordinance; Descendents; Offspring | 2003-10-18 |

Regehr, John | Surviving sensor network software faults | We describe Neutron, a version of the TinyOS operating system that efficiently recovers from memory safety bugs. Where existing schemes reboot an entire node on an error, Neutron's compiler and runtime extensions divide programs into recovery units and reboot only the faulting unit. The TinyOS kerne... | | 2009-01-01 |
