The recent proliferation of multi-core processors has moved concurrent programming into mainstream by forcing increasingly more programmers to write parallel code. Using traditional concurrency techniques, such as locking, is notoriously difficult and has ...
State-machine replication (SMR) is a software technique for tolerating failures and for providing high availability in large-scale systems, through the use of commodity hardware. A replicated state-machine comprises a number of replicas, each of which runs ...
Contact-based simulations are a very popular tool for the analysis of opportunistic networks. They are used for evaluation of networking metrics, for quantifying the effects of infrastructure and for the design of forwarding strategies. However, little evi ...
As a benchmark exercise for testing software and methods developed in Hycon2 for decen- tralized and distributed control, we address the problem of designing the Automatic Genera- tion Control (AGC) layer in power network systems. In particular, we present ...
Autonomous vehicles can react faster than humans, they have more accurate perception and do not get distracted, sleepy or intoxicated. Autonomous vehicles could also increase the capacity of our current roads by allowing cars to be driven more closely to e ...
Successful daylighting design is a complex task which requires the designer to consider numerous design elements and their effects on multiple performance criteria. Facades in particular include many variables which may dramatically impact daylighting perf ...
The explosion of social applications such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, of electronic commerce with companies like Amazon.com and Ebay.com, and of Internet search has created the need for new technologies and appropriate systems to manage effectively ...
This paper addresses the water temperature control in condensing domestic boilers. The main challenge of this process under the controller design perspective is the fact that the dynamics of condensing boilers are strongly affected by the demanded water fl ...
This paper proposes a dimension reduction technique for estimation in linear mixed models. Specifically, we show that in a linear mixed model, the maximum-likelihood (ML) problem can be rewritten as a substantially simpler optimization problem which presen ...
It is becoming increasingly clear that mitochondria play an important role in neural function. Recent studies show mitochondrial morphology to be crucial to cellular physiology and synaptic function and a link between mitochondrial defects and neuro-degene ...
