Population dynamics of spiking neurons: fast transients, asynchronous states and locking

Wulfram Gerstner

An integral equation describing the time evolution of the population activity in a homogeneous pool of spiking neurons of the integrate-and-fire type is discussed. It is analytically shown that transients from a state of incoherent firing can be immediate. ...

Generic 3D ball animation model for networked interactive VR environments

Daniel Thalmann

The paper describes a versatile, robust, and parametric ball animation model that can be used in many types of interactive virtual reality (VR) environments. The generic model is particularly useful for animation of ball-like objects such as tennis balls a ...

Global TCP Modeling: the Limit Mean ODE and its Convergence

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Milan Vojnovic

We consider certain variants of the additive-increase and multiplicative-decrease end-to-end congestion avoidance algorithms. The algorithms of concern are tailored to reflect the behavior of TCP congestion avoidance, in particular, the response to multipl ...

Processing Transactions over Optimistic Atomic Broadcast Protocols

André Schiper, Fernando Pedone

Atomic broadcast primitives allow fault-tolerant cooperation between sites in adistributed system. Unfortunately, the delay incurred before a message can be delivered makes it difficult to implement high performance, scalable applications on top of atomic ...

A Note on the Fairness of TCP Vegas

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Catherine Boutremans

We study the fairness of TCP Vegas. The latter is an alternative to the commonly used TCP Reno, and uses measures of the round trip time as feedback on congestion. We consider two cases that depend on the value of the two parameters

Using Optimistic Atomic Broadcast in Transaction Processing Systems

André Schiper, Fernando Pedone

Atomic broadcast primitives are often proposed as a mechanism to allow fault-tolerant cooperation between sites in a distributed system. Unfortunately, the delay incurred before a message can be delivered makes it difficult to implement high performance, s ...

The compositional specification of timed systems-a tutorial

Joseph Sifakis

The analysis of reactive systems requires models representing the system, its interaction with the environment, and taking into account features of the underlying execution structure. It is important that such models are timed if analysis concerns performa ...

A Min-Plus System Theory for Constrained Traffic Regulation and Dynamic Service Guarantees

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Patrick Thiran

By extending the system theory under the (min,+)-algebra to the time varying setting, we solve the problem of constrained traffic regulation and develop a calculus for dynamic service guarantees. For a constrained traffic regulation problem with maximum to ...

The Alternative Best-Effort Service

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Patrick Thiran, Paul Hurley

Alternative Best-Effort (ABE) is a novel service for IP networks which offers applications the choice between receiving a lower end-to-end delay and receiving more overall throughput. Every best effort packet is marked as either green or blue. Green packet ...
