Dynamical system approach to navigation around obstacles

In this article, we propose a dynamical system to avoid obstacles which are star shaped and simultaneously converge to a goal. The convergence is almost-global in a domain and the stationary points are identified explicitly. Our approach is based on the id ...

Universal Singular : Public space design of the early 21st century

Sonia Monique Curnier

The way public spaces are designed reflects the period in which they were created. However, in our globalized world of experience and images the desire for uniqueness tends to achieve the opposite: increasingly, designers of open spaces resort to the same ...

GLOBALLY plus -REGULAR VARIETIES AND THE MINIMAL MODEL PROGRAM FOR THREEFOLDS IN MIXED CHARACTERISTIC

Zsolt Patakfalvi, Joseph Allen Waldron

We establish the Minimal Model Program for arithmetic threefolds whose residue characteristics are greater than five. In doing this, we generalize the theory of global F-regularity to mixed characteristic and identify certain stable sections of adjoint lin ...

The Digital Ethics Canvas: A Guide For Ethical Risk Assessment And Mitigation In The Digital Domain

Patrick Jermann, Cécile Hardebolle, Vivek Ramachandran, Vladimir Macko, Adrian Christian Holzer

Ethical concerns in the digital domain are growing with the extremely fast evolution of technology and the increasing scale at which software is deployed, potentially affecting our societies globally. It is crucial that engineers evaluate more systematical ...

What is the role of ethics in accreditation documentation from a global view?

Helena Kovacs

Ethics in engineering has long been an important element in engineering programmes, however these subjects are often taught at a basic learning level with little attempt to connect to demonstrative learning outcomes. In recent years there has been a step c ...

A multi-disciplinary view on earthquake science

Marie Estelle Solange Violay

Earthquakes are a natural hazard affecting millions of people globally every year. Researchers are working on understanding the mechanisms of earthquakes and how we can predict them from various angles, such as experimental work, theoretical modeling, and ...

Limiting Lamport Exposure to Distant Failures in Globally-Managed Distributed Systems

Bryan Alexander Ford, Verónica del Carmen Estrada Galiñanes, Pierluca Borsò, Kelong Cong, Georgia Fragkouli, Enis Ceyhun Alp, Cristina Basescu, Gaylor Bosson

Globalized computing infrastructures offer the convenience and elasticity of globally managed objects and services, but lack the resilience to distant failures that localized infrastructures such as private clouds provide. Providing both global management ...

Towards circular phosphorus: The need of inter- and transdisciplinary research to close the broken cycle

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Kai Udert

Phosphorus (P) is an essential element to all living beings but also a finite resource. P-related problems center around broken P cycles from local to global scales. This paper presents outcomes from the 9th International Phosphorus Workshop (IPW9) held 20 ...

The symbiotic relationship between educational robotics and computer science in formal education

Francesco Mondada, Frédérique Michèle Chessel-Lazzarotto, Barbara Bruno, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy

Educational Robotics (ER) has the potential to provide significant benefits to edu-cation, provided an increase in outreach by transitioning from the extra-curricular initiatives in which ER has thrived to formal education. As Compute ...

Small-time global stabilization of the viscous Burgers equation with three scalar controls

Shengquan Xiang

We construct explicit time-varying feedback laws leading to the global (null) stabilization in small time of the viscous Burgers equation with three scalar controls. Our feedback laws use first the quadratic transport term to achieve the small-time global ...
