This paper summarizes how distributed shared memory (DSM) can be both efficiently and portably supported by the Tempest interface. Tempest is a collection of mechanisms for communication and synchronization in parallel programs. These mechanisms provide co ...
Although useful in the development of distributed systems, current reliable distributed environments, such as group communication toolkits (e.g., ISIS, TOTEM, PHOENIX) or transactional monitors (e.g., ENCINA, TUXEDO), are hardly extensible or customisable ...
Recent developments are going towards miniaturized devices and structures. Besides advanced photolithography techniques, complementary patterning methods are evolving. Among them is the nanostencil technique. This technique is about defining patterns under ...

This paper presents a method by which a robot can learn through observation to perform a collaborative manipulation task, namely lifting an object. The task is first demonstrated by a user controlling the robot's hand via a haptic interface. Learning extra ...

We present a compact 3 degrees of freedom (dof) (X-Y-θz) absolute position sensor offering a sub-micrometric resolution. The travelling range is 15x15mm2 (translations) and ±180° (rotation), with an absolute precision better than 10μm over the whole travel ...

The functional complexity of hardware and software systems is growing exponentially. This demands an integration of system validation in the design phase to guarantee that a concrete implementation conforms to the modeled requirements. System validation pr ...
Data classification, in the present context, concerns the use of computers in order to create systems that learn how to automatically decide to which of a predefined set of classes a given object belongs. Boolean concepts have long been present in data cla ...
We present two software DSM protocols that dynamically adapt between a single writer (SW) and a multiple writer (MW) protocol based on the application's sharing patterns. The first protocol (WFS) adapts based on write-write false sharing; the second (WFS+W ...
Recent shared-memory parallel computer systems offer the exciting possibility of customizing memory coherence protocols to fit an application's semantics and sharing patterns. Custom protocols have been used to achieve message-passing performance---while r ...
