In this paper, we provide a formal analysis of a rational exchange protocol proposed by Syverson. A rational exchange protocol guarantees that misbehavior cannot generate benefits, and is therefore discouraged. The analysis is performed using our formal mo ...
This short paper explains how the Khepera robot was developed, from the initial idea to the its commercialisation by K-Team. The goal of this paper is not a scientific analysis but an historical overview of the steps made in the development of this robot s ...
We develop a fully vectorial formalism for the investigation of electromagnetic scattering in polarizable backgrounds, i.e., where the scatterers are not in vacuum but situated in a medium with a dielectric permittivity different from unity. Our approach i ...
Equil. aspects in biotechnol. and thermodn. as the main theory underlying them have thus far received relatively little attention. As a consequence, design and development of biotechnogical processes is still carried out today in an relatively empirical wa ...
The neutron optics laboratory at ILL carries out an innovative research program in various fields of neutron optics with the aim of developing new and improved tools for neutron instrumentation. An overview of some recent highlights is presented, indicatin ...
The LEI (Laboratoire d’Electronique Industrielle) is one of the laboratories of the DE (Département Electricité) of the EPFL. Its mission and goal are the research and the teaching in the domains of Industrial and Power Electronics. Simulation tools are us ...
In this paper, dynamic models for managing durables are applied for the first time to an urban region in developing countries, i.e., Tunja in Colombia. The focus lies on the analysis of the material balance of furniture, as an example, in private household ...
This technical report provides an evaluation of several possible languages and semantic formalisms that could be used in agent communication to play the role of a content language in the EU Agentcities.RTD project. The conclusions and background informatio ...
A density-functional scheme for the calculation of Raman spectra of disordered materials was developed. Applied to vitreous silica, it was found that the HH Raman spectrum is strongly sensitive to intermediate range order. ...
A brief review with 18 refs. is provided of the principal research and development activities of the Lab. of Polyelectrolytes and BioMacromols. at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technol. These include, in particular, the synthesis of tailor-made polyelectr ...
