Within only a couple of generations, the so-called digital revolution has taken the world by storm: today, almost all human beings interact, directly or indirectly, at some point in their life, with a computer system. Computers are present on our desks, co ...

Considerations on the design of cut-and-cover tunnels

Aurelio Muttoni, Laurent Vulliet, Vincent Labiouse, Sylvain Plumey

The communication shows an alternative for introducing soil-structure interaction in the analysis of cut-and-cover tunnels. An uncoupled method is illustrated through two examples representative of the situations found in practice. The main features of eac ...

Effects of ‘Spatialized’ Communication in Tightly Coupled Work

Pierre Dillenbourg, Mauro Cherubini

This technical report describes the advancements on our research on collaborative annotations of maps. Particularly, we are trying to answer the following research question: does making explicit the location references of the elements of a discourse enhanc ...

Language Support for Fast and Reliable Message Based Communication in Singularity OS

James Richard Larus

Message-based communication offers potential benefits of providing stronger specification and cleaner separation between components. Compared with shared-memory interactions, message passing has the potential disadvantages of being more expensive (no direc ...

Improving Fast Paxos: being optimistic with no overhead

André Schiper

The paper addresses the cost of consensus algorithms. It has been shown that in the best case, consensus can be solved in two communication steps with f < n/2, and in one communication step with f < n/3 (f is the maximum number of faulty processes). This l ...

Multicoordinated Paxos

Rodrigo Malta Schmidt, Fernando Pedone

Classic Paxos is a round-based distributed consensus algorithm. Normally, proposals are sent to the round leader and decided in two communication steps more. Fast Paxos extends Classic Paxos by allowing also fast rounds, in which a decision can be learned ...

Efficient Distributed Multiresolution Processing for Data Gathering in Sensor Networks

Razvan Cristescu, Jugoslava Acimovic

We consider large sensor networks where the cost of collecting data from the network nodes to the data gathering sink is critical.~We propose several algorithms that use limited local communication and distributed signal processing to make communication mo ...

Architectural Issues of JMS Compliant Group Communication

Nils Richard Ekwall, Arnas Kupsys

Group communication provides one-to-many communication primitives that simplify the development of highly available services. Despite advances in research and numerous prototypes, group communication stays confined to small niches. To facilitate the accept ...

Adaptive Distributed Algorithms for Power-Efficient Data Gathering in Sensor Networks

Razvan Cristescu, Jugoslava Acimovic

In this work, we consider the problem of designing adaptive distributed processing algorithms in large sensor networks that are efficient in terms of minimizing the total power spent for gathering the spatially correlated data from the sensor nodes to a si ...

DO PARTNERS CARE ABOUT THEIR MUTUAL LOCATION? Spatial awareness in virtual environments.

Pierre Dillenbourg, Nicolas Nova

This paper reports on four experimental studies concerning regard to how people use space so as to solve problems collaboratively in virtual environments. Prior to presenting the results, it summarizes the wide range of literature concerning social uses of ...
