Synchronization and Power Integrity Issues in 3-D ICs

Giovanni De Micheli, Vasileios Pavlidis, Hu Xu, Ioannis Tsioutsios

Several challenges should be resolved for three dimensional integration to evolve to a mainstream technology. Among these challenges, the issues of synchronization and power integrity become predominant due to the multiple planes and the heterogeneity of 3 ...

Modeling and design of a hybrid MEMS motor

Yves Perriard, Sebastiano Merzaghi

This paper addresses the design of a new hybrid MEMS micromotor. It gives insights on the choices, which led to the fabrication of a small 3-phases axial flux BLDC motor. The stator is developed following the almost CMOS technology rules used for MEMS manu ...

Micro-electro-mechanical (MEM) diode switch

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Didier Bouvet, Dimitrios Tsamados, Donatello Acquaviva

The design, fabrication and characterization of Micro-electro-mechanical metal-air-insulator-semiconductor (MEM-MAIS) diode switch are originally reported. An abrupt switching from off-state to Fowler-Nordheim tunneling current in on-state is induced by th ...

Advances in the Design and Implementation of Group Communication Middleware

André Schiper, Sergio Mena, Olivier Rütti, Rachele Fuzzati, Daniel Bünzli

Group communication is a programming abstraction that allows a distributed group of processes to provide a reliable service in spite of the possibility of failures within the group. The goal of the project was to improve the state of the art of group commu ...

Mirroring Resources or Mapping Requests: Implementing WS-RF for Grid Workflows

Thomas Heinis

The Web services resource framework (WS-RF) and the Web services notification (WS-N) specifications are a crucial component of grid infrastructures. They provide a standardized interface to stateful services so that they can be managed remotely. There are ...

Uniform consensus is harder than consensus

André Schiper

We compare the consensus and uniform consensus problems in synchronous systems. In contrast to consensus, uniform consensus is not solvable with byzantine failures. This still holds for the omission failure model if a majority of processes may be faulty. F ...

SAMARIS D13 - Report on preliminary studies for the use of HPFRCC for the rehabilitation of road infrastructure components

Emmanuel Denarié, Katrin Habel

The aims of the preliminary study reported in this document were twofold. Firstly, within the context of the application of UHPFRC for the rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures, to identify the phenomena that require further study with respect t ...

From e-government to e-governance? Towards a model of e-governance

Matthias Finger

This paper is conceptual in nature: in it, we seek to identify the current trends of State transformation, combine them with the changes in the new information and communication technologies, and extrapolate this combination into the near future. More prec ...
