Review of control strategies for lower-limb exoskeletons to assist gait

Mohamed Bouri, Auke Ijspeert, Romain Pierre François Baud, Ali Reza Manzoori

Background Many lower-limb exoskeletons have been developed to assist gait, exhibiting a large range of control methods. The goal of this paper is to review and classify these control strategies, that determine how these devices interact with the user. Met ...

La phénoménotechnique questionnée par la médiation. L'exemple du showroom du Larsim

Yohann Michel Franck Guffroy

The purpose of this article is to present a space of mediation developed by the astrophysicist Vincent Minier and the philosopher Vincent Bontems at the Commissariat à l’Énergie atomique et aux Énergies renouvelables. This room, called “showroom”, promotes ...

Abstractions for Solving Consensus and Related Problems with Byzantine Faults

Zarko Milosevic

We become increasingly dependent on online services; therefore, their availability and correct behavior become increasingly important. Software replication is a popular technique for ensuring that computer systems continue to provide a correct service even ...

State Machine Replication : from Analytical Evaluation to High-Performance Paxos

Nuno Filipe de Sousa Santos

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 ...

Generalized Universality

Rachid Guerraoui

State machine replication reduces distributed to centralized computing. Any sequential service, modeled by a state machine, can be replicated over any number of processes and made highly available to all of them. At the heart of this fundamental reduction ...

A self-organized, fault-tolerant and scalable replication scheme for cloud storage

Nicolas Bonvin, Karl Aberer

Failures of any type are common in current datacenters, partly due to the higher scales of the data stored. As data scales up, its availability becomes more complex, while different availability levels per application or per data item may be required. In t ...

Architectural Support for Coherent Architecturally Visible Storage in Instruction Set Extensions

Ties Jan Henderikus Kluter

When it comes to performance, embedded systems share many problems with their higher-end counterparts. The growing gap between top processor frequency and memory access speed, the memory wall, is one such problem. Driven, in part, by low energy consumption ...

A mealy machine with polynomial growth of irrational degree

We consider a very simple Mealy machine ( two nontrivial states over a two-symbol alphabet), and derive some properties of the semigroup it generates. It is an infinite, finitely generated semigroup, and we show that the growth function of its balls behave ...
