In previous work, we defined the category of functors F-quad, associated to F-2-vector spaces equipped with a nondegenerate quadratic form. In this paper, we define a special family of objects in the category F-quad, named the mixed functors. We give the c ...
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. We prove that the restricted nilpotent commuting variety C, that is the set of pairs of (n x n)-matrices (A, B) such that A(2) = B-2 = [A, B] = 0, is equidimensional. C can be identified with the ...
Query processing in traditional Database Management Systems (DBMS) has been extensively studied in the literature and adopted in industry. Such success is, in part, due to the performance of their Query Execution En-gines (QEE) for supporting the execution ...
We aim at merging technologies from information technology, roomware, and robotics in order to design adaptive and intelligent furniture. This paper presents design principles for our modular robots, called Roombots, as future building blocks for furniture ...
In our previous works we had developed a framework for self-reconfiguration planning based on graph signature and graph edit-distance. The graph signature is a fast isomorphism test between different configurations and the graph edit-distance is a similari ...
Reconfigurable Video Coding (RVC) aims to provide a framework allowing a dynamic development, implementation and adoption of standardized video coding solutions with features of higher flexibility and re-usability. RVC-CAL is a dataflow oriented language w ...
This paper presents a microrobot concept for microhandling and micromanipulation, which has been developed within the framework of the EU founded project MiCRoN. The concept is explained along with some examples of realized modules for the robots and a num ...
This chapter describes tools and techniques that facilitate a gentle introduction to fascinating concepts in digital image processing from four leading universities. Equipped with informative visualizations and a user-friendly interfaces, these modules are ...
This paper studies the semantics of protocol modules composition and interaction in configurable communication systems. We present a semantic model describing the x-kernel, Cactus and Appia --- three frameworks that are used for implementing modular system ...
If p is an odd prime, the group of endo-trivial modules for a metacyclic p-group is infinite cyclic generated by the Heller translate of the trivial module. The structure of the whole Dade group of endo-permutation modules can be deduced from this. Every k ...
