Anomalies in Scheduling Control Applications and Design Complexity

Amir Aminifar

Today, many control applications in cyberphysical systems are implemented on shared platforms. Such resource sharing may lead to complex timing behaviors and, in turn, instability of control applications. This paper highlights a number of anomalies demonst ...

Reducing circuit design complexity for neuromorphic machine learning systems based on Non-Volatile Memory arrays

Yusuf Leblebici, Alessandro Fumarola

Machine Learning (ML) is an attractive application of Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) arrays [1,2]. However, achieving speedup over GPUs will require minimal neuron circuit sharing and thus highly area-efficient peripheral circuitry, so that ML reads and writes ...

Compact Lensless Phase Imager

Michaël Unser, Ferréol Arnaud Marie Soulez

Lensless quantitative phase imaging is of high interest for obtaining a large field of view (FOV), typically the size of the camera chip, to observe biological cell material with high contrast. It has the potential to be widely spread due to its inherent s ...

Exploiting Satisfiability Solvers for Efficient Logic Synthesis

Ana Petkovska

Logic synthesis is an important part of electronic design automation (EDA) flows, which enable the implementation of digital systems. As the design size and complexity increase, the data structures and algorithms for logic synthesis must adapt and improve ...

Consensus algorithms and plug-and-play control for current sharing in DC microgrids

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate

In this paper, we propose a secondary consensus-based control layer for current sharing and voltage balancing in DC microGrids (mGs). Differently from existing approaches based on droop control, we assume decentralized Plug-and-Play (PnP) controllers at th ...

The Trajectories Tool: Amplifying Network Visualization Complexity

Alexandre André Robert Rigal, Dario Rodighiero, Loup Cellard

Network visualizations are the most complex visualizations possible, but sometimes they are not capable of describing system-complexity. Even if they are the most widely employed visualization techniques, they still have limitations. Indeed a) their relati ...

Fragmentation in Time-of-Flight Spectrometry-Based Calculations of Ionic Electrospray Thruster Performance

Herbert Shea, Daniel George Courtney

A method has been presented for accounting for ion fragmentation that occurs within the nonzero field of an ionic electrospray thruster. Given the complexities associated with direct thrust measurements, indirect means (and time-of-flight (TOF) in particul ...

Environmental Influence on the Evolution of Morphological Complexity in Machines

Joshua Evan Auerbach

Whether, when, how, and why increased complexity evolves in biological populations is a longstanding open question. In this work we combine a recently developed method for evolving virtual organisms with an information-theoretic metric of morphological com ...

Architecture without Content 6: Without Venturi

Kersten Geers

Robert Venturi is probably architecture's best-known hero for the wrong reason. Extremely successful at a young age as the iconoclast of North America's late modernism, he soon came to represent (through his collaboration with Denise Scott Brown and Steven ...
