Abstractions for asynchronous distributed computing with malicious players

In modern distributed systems, failures are the norm rather than the exception. In many cases, these failures are not benign. Settings such as the Internet might incur malicious (also called Byzantine or arbitrary) behavior and asynchrony. As a result, and ...

Learning the natural grasping component of an unknown object

Sahar El Khoury

A grasp is the beginning of any manipulation task. Therefore, an autonomous robot should be able to grasp objects it sees for the first time. It must hold objects appropriately in order to successfully perform the task. This paper considers the problem of ...

An Interface Formalism for Web Services

Dirk Thilo Beyer

Web application development using distributed components and web services presents new software integration challenges, because solutions often cross vendor, administrative, and other boundaries across which neither binary nor source code can be shared. We ...

Ensuring properties of interaction systems

Joseph Sifakis

We propose results ensuring properties of a component-based system from properties of its interaction model and of its components. We consider here deadlock-freedom and local progress of subsystems. This is done in the framework of interaction systems, a m ...

Semantic Representation of Individualized Reaction Movements for Virtual Human

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Alejandra Garcia Rojas Martinez

Virtual Human (VH) creation aims to provide virtual characters with realistic behavior, which implies endowing them with autonomy in an inhabited virtual environment. Autonomous behavior consists in interacting with users or the environment and reacting to ...

The Heard-Of Model: Unifying all Benign Failures

André Schiper

Problems in fault-tolerant distributed computing have been studied in a variety of models. These models are structured around two central ideas: 1. Degree of synchrony and failure model are two independent parameters that determine a particular type of sys ...

A collaborative platform for sustainable building design based on model integration over the internet

Céline Weber

Considerable potential exists for reducing life cycle environmental impacts of buildings in Japan. While energy consumption during the operation stage of a building's lifetime is usually dominant, indirect energy use and pollutant emissions associated with ...

Composition for component-based modeling

Joseph Sifakis

We propose a framework for component-based modeling using an abstract layered model for components. A component is the superposition of two models: a behavior model and an interaction model. Interaction models describe architectural constraints induced by ...

Composition for component-based modeling

Joseph Sifakis

We propose a framework for component-based modeling that bring some answers to the component-based design problems. The framework uses an abstract layered model of components. It integrates and simplifies results about modeling timed systems by using timed ...

District Heating in the City of Tokyo: A Case Study using a new Integrated Simulation Environment.

Daniel Favrat, Hongtao Li, Meinrad Bürer

This paper aims to illustrate a new holistic modeling environment through a case study implementing a district heating system to supply four groups of users identified in the city of Tokyo. The holistic modeling environment, called DOME (Distributed Object ...
