'Seeing' Atoms: The Crystallographic Revolution

Dieter Schwarzenbach

Laue's experiment in 1912 of the diffraction of X-rays by crystals led to one of the most influential discoveries in the history of science: the first determinations of crystal structures, NaCl and diamond in particular, by W. L. Bragg in 1913. For the fir ...

Architecture Internalisation in BIP

Joseph Sifakis, Simon Bliudze

Architectures allow shifting the focus of developers from low-level code to high-level structures ensuring coordination in component-based systems. If the architecture description language is expressive enough, it is possible to describe architectures in a ...

On Synthesizing Code from Free-Form Queries

Viktor Kuncak, Tihomir Gvero

We present a new code assistance tool for integrated development environments. Our system accepts free-form queries allowing a mixture of English and Java as an input, and produces Java code fragments that take the query into account and respect syntax, ty ...

HyRec: leveraging browsers for scalable recommenders

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Davide Frey, Rhicheek Patra

The ever-growing amount of data available on the Internet calls for personalization. Yet, the most effective personalization schemes, such as those based on collaborative filtering (CF), are notoriously resource greedy. This paper presents HyRec, an online ...

Monte Carlo modeling of crystal channeling at high energies

Alessio Ferrari, Philippe Jean Schoofs, Francesco Cerutti

Channeling in bent crystals is becoming a reliable and efficient technique for collimating beams. At CERN, the installation of crystals in LHC is under scrutiny by the UA9 collaboration with the goal of investigating if they are a viable option for the col ...

Composing Relaxed Transactions

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Mihai Letia

As the classic transactional abstraction is sometimes considered too restrictive in leveraging parallelism, a lot of work has been devoted to devising relaxed transactional models with the goal of improving concurrency. Nevertheless, the quest for improvin ...

Memory Power Optimization of Java-Based Embedded Systems Exploiting Garbage Collection Information

David Atienza Alonso

Nowadays, Java is used in all types of embedded devices. For these memory-constrained systems, the automatic dynamicmemorymanager (Garbage Collector or GC) has been always a key factor in terms of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) performance. Moreover, in cu ...

Widget-Based Approach for Remote Control Labs

Denis Gillet, Christophe Salzmann, Evgeny Bogdanov

The paper presents a novel approach to conduct laboratory experiments in relation with the Control class taught at EPFL. The existing laboratory interface built as a Java applet, which allows students to access experimentation devices locally or remotely, ...

Multi-Lane FlowPools: A Detailed Look

Martin Odersky, Philipp Haller, Aleksandar Prokopec, Tobias Schlatter

FlowPools, proposed by are a powerful way to express dataflow logic in highly parallelized applications. The original paper proposes two ways of implementing a FlowPool: Single-Lane FlowPools (SLFP) and Multi-Lane FlowPools (MLFP). While SLFPs showed decen ...

Communix: A Framework for Collaborative Deadlock Immunity

George Candea, Pinar Tözün, Horatiu Jula

We present Communix, a collaborative deadlock immunity framework for Java programs. Deadlock immunity enables applications to avoid deadlocks that they previously encountered. Dimmunix [1], our deadlock immunity system, detects deadlocks and saves their si ...
