Dependable capabilities to counter wicked tasks are proactively needed for borderland placemaking. Initiated recently, in Xiamen, a hub airport is being constructed at Xiangan district's Dadeng islet, which was taken after the inner war from the outlying borderland of Taiwan -Kinmen. To promote current interactive urbanizing, holistic pervasiveness, and/or resource chaining, a sensor-information infrastructure with availability, reliability, and maintainability features through artificial intelligence -i.e., the plural surveillances, similar in sensing through creatures' eyes, ears, and nostrils-is prototyped. By plural detection along traffic paths, such dedicated short-range communication networks, evidenced with terrorist uncertainty, can help promote trust, inclusive accessibility, mobile services, and interactive measures, with fault tolerance, Hamiltonian (a mathematical order), connectivity, scalability, electromagnetic interference countering, and reliable accuracy. More flexibility can be justified for the emerging pervasive logistic and security management demand by further applying other network types. The cubeconnected cycle is prototyped for the probe application along waterways and in rural areas. The prototyped spiderweb network can be resiliently integrated with shorelines and interior paths and configured together into a featured urban building context, radial-ring, whose sustainability is culturally resonated in world heritage, neighboring Tulous; help promote peace developing and evoke economic interactions, globally.

In this paper we study the fault diameter of the n-dimensional hypercube (or n-cube for short), Qn, for n ≥ 3. Let F be a set of hybrid node-faults and/or link-faults in Qn such that every node of Qn is still connected to at least one fault-free node by a fault-free link. Then we compute the exact diameter of Qn - F for |F| ≤ 2n - 3. As an immediate consequence, our result improves upon those presented by S. Latifi (1993), in which only node-faults were addressed.

Nowadays, due to the concern regarding environmental issues, establishing pedestrian/bike friendly urbanism is widely encouraged. To promote safety-assured, mobile communication environments, efficient, reliable maintenance, and information integrity need to be designed, especially in highly possibly interfered places. For busy traffic areas, regular degree-3 dedicated short range communication (DSRC) networks are safety and information featured with availability, reliability, and maintainability in paths of multi-lanes. For sparsely populated areas, probes of wireless sensors are rational, especially if sensor nodes can be organized to enhance security, reliability, and flexibility. Applying alternative network topologies, such as spider-webs, generalized honeycomb tori, and cube-connected cycles, for comparing and analyzing is proposed in DSRC and cellular communications to enhance integrity in communications.

Global changes, including the rise of the sea level and frequent terrible disasters, are apparently threatening the living environment. For environmental mitigation, security, and sustainability, Taiwan should have reliable, incorporative area-based security-information networks to protect their environments. Plural (dual) surveillance which is rooted in biologic senses, e.g., from two-eyes, can have the feature of fault-tolerance, availability and maintainability in monitoring tasks. Further, it can fit the contemporary wireless communication methods being incorporated with MIMO (multi-in multi-out), to prevent information loss, interference, unexpected changes caused by such as clogged water and chemical reactions. Consequently, network prototypes, including SW (spider-web)network and CCC (cube-connected cycle), are proactively suggested. More reliable capabilities, including those encouraging local ferries and drones, for efficient logistic operation and mixed-use buildings with quality assured performance, can be good for smart urban growth, resource utilization in Taiwan, which is aimed as an aerotropolis-a means for placemaking.
