This report presents a new methodological approach for the optimal design of energy integrated batch processes. The main emphasis is put on indirect and, to some extend, on direct heat exchange networks with the possibility of introducing closed or open st ...
My work of diploma consisted in developing a Windows application for the recognition of the handwritten digits. The source images come from a pen-scanner. The user can also draw the digits directly with the mouse and do the recognition of it. In this softw ...
Even after decades of software engineering research, complex computer systems still fail, primarily due to nondeterministic bugs that are typically resolved by rebooting. Conceding that Heisenbugs will remain a fact of life, we propose a systematic investi ...
This paper presents the genesis of the Expo.02 robot. RoboX the tour guide robot has been built from the scratch for this project based on the experience of the Autonomous Systems Lab. The production of 11 of those machines has been guaranteed by a spin-of ...
To find out where software is headed, experts in academia and industry share their vision of software's future. It is a snapshot in time of where we have been and possibly where we are headed. The subjects discussed are: the desktop; software technology; o ...
This paper describes a software architecture for industrial robots used in manufacturing equipment. In order to achieve software portability, the application software is dissociated from the low-level robot controller software. The interaction between thes ...
The CERN Host Interface (CHI) is a family of interfaces to interconnect Fastbus, VMEbus, and external host computers. The Fastbus interface consists of a processor board (CHI-P) and host-specific I/O ports allowing connection using fast parallel or serial ...
The cold-neutron triple-axis spectrometer RITA-I at Rise has been operational for about three years, and in the near future an improved version, RITA-2 will replace the existing triple-axis instrument TAS7. We review the performance of RITA-1 and the opera ...
The design of future parallel computers requires rapid simulation of target designs running realistic workloads. These simulations have been accelerated using two techniques: direct execution and the use of a parallel host. Historically, these techniques h ...
Release consistency, a relaxed memory consistency model that reduces the impact of remote memory access latency in both software and hardware distributed shared memory, is considered. To reduce the number of messages and the amount of data exchanged for re ...
