SwisTrack - A Flexible Open Source Tracking Software for Multi-Agent Systems

Alcherio Martinoli, Jacques Jacot, Nicolaus Correll, Thomas Lochmatter, Christopher Cianci, Pierre Roduit

Vision-based tracking is used in nearly all robotic laboratories for monitoring and extracting of agent positions, orientations, and trajectories. However, there is currently no accepted standard software solution available, so many research groups resort ...

Middleware-based Database Replication: The Gaps Between Theory and Practice

Anastasia Ailamaki, George Candea, Emmanuel Cecchet

The need for high availability and performance in data management systems has been fueling a long running interest in database replication from both academia and industry. However, academic groups often attack replication problems in isolation, overlooking ...

From Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 and back - How did your Grandma use to tag?

Karl Aberer, Sebastian Michel, Gleb Skobeltsyn, Adriana Budura

We consider the applicability of terms extracted from anchortext as a source of Web page descriptions in the form of tags. With a relatively simple and easy-to-use method, we show that anchortext significantly overlaps with tags obtained from the popular t ...

TraCI: An Interface for Coupling Road Traffic and Network Simulators

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Maxime Raya

Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) enable communication among vehicles as well as between vehicles and roadside infrastructures. Currently available software tools for VANET research still lack the ability to asses the usability of vehicular applications. ...

Textured silicon heterojunction solar cells with over 700mV open-circuit voltage studied by transmission electron microscopy

Christophe Ballif, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Christian Monachon, Stefaan De Wolf, Luc Fesquet

In this article, we report on the use of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for the fabrication of high-performance textured amorphous/crystalline silicon (a-Si:H/c-Si) heterojunction (HJ) solar cells. Whereas classical thin-film characterization techn ...

Thermal Behavior of an Ultra High-Precision Linear Axis Operating in Industrial Environment

Reymond Clavel, Emanuele Lubrano

Thermal expansion is the major source of inaccuracy for ultra high-precision robots. In this paper we propose a strategy to model and compensate this effect. The experiment is run using a 1 DOF (degree-of-freedom) parallel robot equipped with ten temperatu ...

Managing competing Communities of Practice: The impact of open source and knowledge-bridging on system-level learning

In this article we explore how learning across competing Communities of Practice (CoP) may benefit from actively managed processes, namely: building an explicit knowledge repository (open source), and setting incentives to crossing boundaries (knowledge-br ...

Free Software for research in Information Retrieval and Textual Clustering

Jean-Cédric Chappelier, Emmanuel Eckard

The document provides an overview of the main Free ("Open Source") software of interest for research in Information Retrieval, as well as some background on the context. I provides a guideline for choosing appropriate tools. ...

Control of a Haptic Interface and a Micromachining Setup with an Open Source Real-Time System

Hannes Bleuler, Rolf Wüthrich, Evren Samur, Lionel Flaction, Pascal Maillard

Open source software have evolved into powerful tools for real-time control of mechatronic systems. They are of interest for academic purposes, as they promise high flexibility at low cost. In this paper, we investigate the performance of an open source co ...

Graph Chatbot

Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
