The performance monitoring of computer systems is a complex affair, made even more challenging by the increasing gap between hardware and software. Methods that collect and feed data to performance analysis can usually be classified into one of two groups. ...
Computer networks are an important part of our life. Yet, they are traditionally hard to manage and operate. The recent shift to Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is promised to change the way in which the networks are run by their operators. However, SDN ...
Hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) are mathematical models of wave phenomena, with applications in a wide range of scientific and engineering fields such as electromagnetic radiation, geosciences, fluid and solid mechanics, aeroacoustics, and ...
The involvement of shales in engineering fields such as the extraction of shale gas or the nuclear waste geological disposal is mainly driven by the low permeability and the high retention properties of these geomaterials. The high capillary forces develop ...
Natural and artificial societies often divide the workload between specialized members. For example, an ant worker may preferentially perform one of many tasks such as brood rearing, foraging and nest maintenance. A robot from a rescue team may specialize ...
Since their invention more than half a century ago, computers have gone from being just an handful of expensive machines each filling an entire room, to being an integral part of almost every aspect of modern life. Nowadays computers are everywhere: in our ...
Nowadays processing systems are asked to support increasing complex and demanding high-performance applications, especially in the signal processing and video processing domains. The design of these systems are becoming extremely challenging because of sev ...
Tensegrity structures are spatial reticulated structures composed of cables and struts. Tensegrity systems are good candidates for adaptive and deployable structures and thus have applications in various engineering fields. A “hollow-rope” tensegrity syste ...
Parametrized systems of Differential Algebraic Equations (DAEs) stand at the base of several mathematical models in Microelectronics, Computational Fluid Dynamics and other Engineering fields. Since the dimension of these systems can be huge, high computat ...
The last three decades have seen computers invading our society: computers are now present at work to improve productivity and at home to enlarge the scope of our hobbies and to communicate. Furthermore, computers have been involved in many critical system ...
Computers have become affordable, small, omnipresent and are often connected to the Internet. However, despite the availability of such rich environments, user interfaces have not been adapted to fully leverage their potential. In our view, user interfaces ...
Embedded systems play an increasing role in our society. From consumer electronics to driving assistance in cars, from medical devices to space exploration, they are ubiquitous. To better assist human beings, embedded systems become more complex, and more ...
Today computers are part of the standard equipment of modern surgery rooms. They assist surgeons in performing complex procedures that would not be possible otherwise. However, despite the availability of more powerful and complex computer systems, their u ...
Computers have become affordable, small, omnipresent and are often connected to the Internet. However, despite the availability of such rich environment, user interfaces have not been adapted to fully leverage its potential. To help with complex tasks, a n ...
As computer systems continue to grow in power and access more networked content and services, we believe there will be an increasing need to provide more user-centric systems that act as intelligent assistants, able to interact naturally with human users a ...
Computer systems keep growing in complexity, processing power and inter-connectivity. To leverage this rich environment and better assist users, a new type of intelligent assistant software is required. Building intelligent assistants is a difficult task t ...
The expansion of 3D real-time simulations (3DRTS) into millions of homes together with the technical progress of computers hardware force to approach software developments for 3DRTS from different perspectives. From an historical standpoint, 3DRTS started ...
Speaker recognition systems achieve acceptable performance in controlled laboratory conditions. However, in real-life environments, the performance of a speaker recognition system degrades drastically, the principal cause being the mismatch that exists bet ...
The recent advance of computer technology pushed the computing power of the modern computer systems to unprecedented levels; modern processors moved from the conventional, scalar type of architecture to more sophisticated, parallel ones, combining fast pro ...
