Surface Nanopatterning by Polymer Self-Assembly: from Applied Research to Industrial Applications

Nicolas Blondiaux, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Raphaël Pugin, Martha Liley, Ana Maria Popa

Complementary methods have been developed for surface nanostructuring using molecular self-assembly, reactive ion etching and replication techniques. First, controlled surface nanostructures with tunable lateral dimensions from tens of nanometer to tens of ...

Relaxed Atomic Broadcast: State-Machine Replication Using Bounded Memory

André Schiper, Sergio Mena, Omid Shahmirzadi

Atomic broadcast is a useful abstraction for implementing fault-tolerant distributed applications such as state-machine replication. Although a number of algorithms solving atomic broadcast have been published, the problem of bounding the memory used by th ...

Wavelength Multicasting of 320 Gb/s Channel in Self-Seeded Parametric Amplifier

Camille Sophie Brès

We report the first 320-Gb/s all-optical wavelength multicast experimental demonstration in two-pump parametric amplifier, assisted by pump-pump self seeding. A single 320-Gb/s channel was successfully multicast to eight wavelengths with minimal conversion ...

From Data and Signals Cellular Automata to Self-organizing Circuits

Joël Rossier

Self-organizing circuits are able to grow, to self-replicate, and to self-repair. These properties are implemented in hardware thanks to configuration, cloning and cicatrization mechanisms. They are realized by the configuration layer of the POEtic tissue, ...

Self-replication of complex digital circuits in programmable logic devices

Joël Rossier

Nature is an incredibly complex system resulting from the interactions of many different interdependent species, composed of many individual organisms, which are in turn composed of an extremely large number of cells. In multi-cellular organisms, the paral ...

Bio-inspired self-organizing cellular systems

Daniel Mange, Joël Rossier, Fabien Vannel

Bio-inspiration borrows three properties characteristic of living organisms: multicellular architecture, cellular division, and cellular differentiation. Implemented in silicon according to these properties, our self-organizing systems are able to grow, to ...

Security in distributed metadata catalogues

Nuno Filipe de Sousa Santos

Catalogue services provide the discovery and location mechanisms that allow users and applications to locate data on Grids. Replication is a highly desirable feature in these services, since it provides the scalability and reliability required on large dat ...

Self-organization of Bio-inspired Integrated Circuits

Joël Rossier

Self-organizing circuits are able to grow, to self-replicate, and to self-repair. These properties are implemented in hardware thanks to configuration, cloning and cicatrization mechanisms. They are realized by the control layer of the POEtic tissue, a dat ...

Optimistic Erasure-Coded Distributed Storage

Rachid Guerraoui, Ron Levy, Partha Dutta

We study erasure-coded atomic register implementations in an asynchronous crash-recovery model. Erasure coding provides a cheap and space-efficient way to tolerate failures in a distributed system. This paper presents ORCAS, Optimistic eRasure-Coded Atomic ...

Self-replicating hardware for reliability: The embryonics project

Daniel Mange, Joël Rossier, Pierre-André Mudry

The multicellular structure of biological organisms and the interpretation in each of their cells of a chemical program (the DNA string or genome) is the source of inspiration for the Embryonics (embryonic electronics) project, whose final objective is the ...
