MDD propagators with explanation

Radoslaw Szymanek

Multi-valued decision diagrams (MDDs) are a convenient approach to representing many kinds of constraints including table constraints, regular constraints, complex set and multiset constraints, as well as ad-hoc problem specific constraints. This paper int ...

NxN Coupling Matrix Synthesis of Dissipative Microwave Filters

Michael Mattes, Francisco Edén Sorolla Rosario, Diego Navarro Tapia

In this communication, the coupling matrix synthesis of dissipative microwave filters is analyzed and compared to the synthesis of lossless filters. A modified definition of the vector matrix product allows using the same synthesis procedure in both cases. ...

Goto Statement Considered Harmful – A Paper Review

In 1968 Edsger Dijkstra wrote a letter to the editor of Communications of the ACM (CACM) stating his opinion about using the goto statement in programs. This letter would serve to begin a hot-headed debate within the programming community. This topic, howe ...

On Deciding Functional Lists with Sublist Sets

Viktor Kuncak

Motivated by the problem of deciding verification conditions for the verification of functional programs, we present new decision procedures for automated reasoning about functional lists. We first show how to decide in NP the satisfiability problem for lo ...

Model-Predictive Control of an Experimental Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Stack

Dominique Bonvin, Stefan Diethelm, Grégory François, Zacharie Wuillemin, Arata Nakajo, Gene Bunin

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) are energy conversion devices that produce electrical energy via the reaction of a fuel with an oxidant. Although SOFCs have become credible alternatives to non-renewable energy sources, efforts are still needed to extend thei ...

Ordered Sets in the Calculus of Data Structures

Viktor Kuncak, Philippe Paul Henri Suter, Ruzica Piskac

Our goal is to identify families of relations that are useful for reasoning about software. We describe such families using decidable quantifier-free classes of logical constraints with a rich set of operations. A key challenge is to define such classes of ...

Deprecating the Observer Pattern

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Ingo Maier

Programming interactive systems by means of the observer pattern is hard and error-prone yet is still the implementation standard in many production environments. We present an approach to gradually deprecate observers in favor of reactive programming abst ...

Large occlusion completion using normal maps

Pascal Fua, Christoph Strecha, Engin Tola, Andrea Fossati

Dense disparity maps can be computed from wide-baseline stereo pairs but will inevitably contain large areas where the depth cannot be estimated accurately because the pixels are seen in one view only. A traditional approach to this problem is to introduce ...

Programming with Undo

Ersoy Bayramoglu

This thesis is about objects that can undo their state changes. Based on an earlier work on data structure persistence, we propose generating undo methods for classes from annotated classes automatically. As opposed to ephemeral data structures, persistent ...

Enhancing numerical constraint propagation using multiple inclusion representations

Boi Faltings, Xuan-Ha Vu

Building tight and conservative enclosures of the solution set is of crucial importance in the design of efficient complete solvers for numerical constraint satisfaction problems (NCSPs). This paper proposes a novel generic algorithm enabling the cooperati ...
