The performance of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks depends critically on the good connectivity of the overlay topology. In this paper we study P2P networks for content distribution (such as Avalanche) that use randomized network coding techniques. The basic id ...
LTCC (Low-Temperature Cofired Ceramic) has attracted considerable interest as a material for sensors and microfluidic circuits, for which dimensional accuracy is essential. The irregular shrinkage behaviour of LTCC tapes must be taken into account when des ...

District energy systems have the potential to decrease the CO2 emissions linked to energy services (heating, hot water, cooling and electricity), thanks to the implementation of large polygeneration energy conversion technologies, connected to a group of b ...
In this paper we show how interference can be exploited to perform gossip computations over a larger local neighborhood, rather than only pairs of nodes. We use a recently introduced technique called computation coding to perform reliable computation over ...

n source and destination pairs randomly located in an area want to communicate with each other. Signals transmitted from one user to another at distance r apart are subject to a power attenuation of 1/r^alpha as well as a random phase. We identify exactly ...
Event-based systems usually denote distributed infrastructures that are used to asynchronously disseminate information among geographically distant computing units. In these systems, the information sources (a.k.a. publishers) produce events and the system ...
The gradual transformation of a mushy zone during alloy solidification, from a continuous liquid film network to a fully coherent solid, has been simulated using a granular model. Based on a Voronoi tessellation of a random set of nucleation centers, solid ...
An adaptive distributed strategy is developed based on incremental techniques. The proposed scheme addresses the problem of linear estimation in a cooperative fashion, in which nodes equipped with local computing abilities derive local estimates and share ...

In 1998, the Board of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology established the challenging vision of the 2000 W society. The goal is to reach, for Switzerland by the year 2050, an energy intensity target of 2000 Wyear/year/cap. Referring to a present inte ...
