This paper addresses the question of the coherence in the infrastructures. More precisely, it examines the articulation between technical and institutional coherence. It assumes that a certain degree of such coherence is necessary for infrastructures (netw ...
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 ...
The application of evolutionary techniques to the design of custom processing elements bears a strong relation to the natural process that led to the co-evolution of cells and genomes in biological organisms. As such, it is an interesting avenue for an eff ...
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 ...
In the context of the pi calculus, open bisimulation is prominent and popular due to its congruence properties and its easy implementability. Motivated by the attempt to generalise it to the spi calculus, we offer a new, more refined definition and show in ...
In this paper we present six scenarios about the possible evolution of the water supply and sanitation sector in Europe, considering both liberalised and non-liberalised environments. The scenarios were developed around three macro-storylines, namely (1) p ...
It is argued that competitive co-evolution is a viable methodology for developing truly autonomous and intelligent machines capable of setting their own goals in order to face new and continuously changing challenges. The paper starts giving an introductio ...
Due to its simplicity, the theory of KUBELKA-MUNK [1] has found a wide acceptance for modeling the optical properties of light scattering materials. However, the concept is not explicitly adapted to predict halftone prints on paper. In this respect, a rece ...
OMGs Model Driven Architecture initiative comes at a time where information system builders and integrators have realized that application design and thus application interoperability is not primarily a technology issue but is about understanding different ...
Trust and reputation systems have proven to be essential to enforcing cooperative behavior in peer-to-peer networks. We briefly describe the current approaches to building reputation systems: social networks formation, probabilistic estimation and game the ...
