Modern scientific applications consume massive volumes of data produced by computer simulations. Such applications require new data management capabilities in order to scale to terabyte-scale data volumes [32, 10]. The most common way to discretize the app ...
We model the dynamics of self-organized robot aggregation inspired by a study on aggregation of gregarious arthropods. In swarms of German cockroaches, aggregation into clusters emerges solely from local interactions between the individuals, whereas the pr ...
Modeling and simulation can be powerful tools for analyzing multi-agent systems, such as networked robotic systems and sensor networks. In this paper, it is shown concretely how instances of both these elements fit into a general methodology for multi-leve ...
We address the numerical simulation of fluid-structure interaction problems characterized by a strong added-mass effect. We propose a semi-implicit coupling scheme based on an algebraic fractional-step method. The basic idea of a semi-implicit scheme consi ...
Results of a strength-based optimisation of flexural hinge shapes are given. Both pre-defined and freeform parametric shapes are considered. By employing nonlinear parametric optimisation algorithms, shapes that are best suited for the desired applications ...
SABRE (Source Area BioREmediation) is a public/private consortium of twelve companies, two government agencies, and three research institutions whose charter is to determine if enhanced anaerobic bioremediation can result in effective and quantifiable trea ...
Ever since the development of Computer Graphics in the industrial and academic worlds in the seventies, public knowledge and expertise have grown in a tremendous way, notably because of the increasing fascination for Computer Animation. This specific field ...
We present the results of an advanced numerical model for fault current limiter (FCL) based on HTS thin films in which both thermal and electromagnetic aspects are taken into account. This model allows simulating the behavior of FCL in the over-critical cu ...
Seit nunmehr 18 Monaten hat der Lehrstuhl für Holzkonstruktionen der EPFL, der 27 Jahre lang von Prof. Natterer geführt wurde, einen neuen Leiter und damit eine neue Forschungsrichtung: "New Modeling" - neue Wege der Formfindung durch interdisziplinäre Zus ...
We apply a model construction methodology to TinyOS-based networks, using the Behavior-Interaction-Priority (BIP) component framework. The methodology consists in building the model of a node as the composition of a model extracted from a nesC program desc ...
