The Vehicle Routing Problem with Soft Time Windows consists in computing a minimum cost set of routes for a fleet of vehicles of limited capacity that must visit a given set of customers with known demand, with the additional feature that each customer exp ...
We revisit the well-known group membership problem and show how it can be considered a special case of a simple problem, the set membership problem. In the set membership problem, processes maintain a set whose elements are drawn from an arbitrary universe ...
Urban land-use planning and management are in constant mutation throughout the world. With sustainability as the goal, the use of indicators for land auditing and monitoring is becoming more and more in demand. Classical approaches consider the set of indi ...
Piezoelectricity is the propriety of materials that relates mechanical deformation as a function of applied voltage and vice-versa. The advantage of using these materials as actuators is the fast response and low power consumption when compared with tradit ...
Light stimulation of neurons is a promising approach for investigating the molecular mechanisms at the basis of neuronal physiology and plasticity. In particular, flash photolysis of caged compounds offers the unique advantage of allowing to quickly change ...
In VANETs, better communication efficiency can be achieved by sacrificing security and vice versa. But VANETs cannot get started without either of them. In this paper, we propose a set of mechanisms that can actually reconcile these two contradictory requi ...
This paper describes the design and semi-automated generation of a MOS current-mode logic standard cell library. A set of generic components implementing a wide range of combinational and sequential functions is proposed. The layout of the generic componen ...
We present an overview of results developed mainly at Verimag, by the author and his colleagues, on a framework for component-based construction, characterized by the following: the behavior of atomic components is represented by transition systems; compon ...
This contribution presents an ongoing study focused on how location awareness feature modifies collaboration in the context of mobile computing. First it describes the environment we designed and implemented in the form of a mobile game called CatchBob!. T ...
In this work, we address the security of VANETs. We provide a detailed threat analysis and devise an appropriate security architecture. We also describe some major design decisions still to be made, which in some cases have more than mere technical implica ...
