Flatness of Heavy Chain Systems
Authors: Nicolas Petit, Pierre Rouchon
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

In this paper the flatness [M. Fliess, J. Lévine, P. Martin, and P. Rouchon, Internat. J. Control, 61 (1995), pp. 1327--1361, M. Fliess, J. Lévine, P. Martin, and P. Rouchon, IEEE Trans. Automat. Control, 44 (1999), pp. 922--937] of heavy chain systems, i.e., trolleys carrying a fixed length heavy chain that may carry a load, is addressed in the partial derivatives equations framework. We parameterize the system trajectories by the trajectories of its free end and solve the motion planning problem, namely, steering from one state to another state. When considered as a finite set of small pendulums, these systems were shown to be flat [R. M. Murray, in Proceedings of the IFAC World Congress, San Francisco, CA, 1996, pp. 395--400]. Our study is an extension to the infinite dimensional case.Under small angle approximations, these heavy chain systems are described by a one-dimensional (1D) partial differential wave equation. Dealing with this infinite dimensional description, we show how to get the explicit parameterization of the chain trajectory using (distributed and punctual) advances and delays of its free end.This parameterization results from symbolic computations. Replacing the time derivative by the Laplace variable $s$ yields a second order differential equation in the spatial variable where s is a parameter. Its fundamental solution is, for each point considered along the chain, an entire function of s of exponential type. Moreover, for each, we show that, thanks to the Liouville transformation, this solution satisfies, modulo explicitly computable exponentials of s, the assumptions of the Paley--Wiener theorem. This solution is, in fact, the transfer function from the flat output (the position of the free end of the system) to the whole state of the system. Using an inverse Laplace transform, we end up with an explicit motion planning formula involving both distributed and punctual advances and delays operators.
Using Ravenscar to support fault-tolerant real-time applications
Authors: Luís Miguel Pinho, Francisco Vasques
Venue: Proceedings of the 11th international workshop on Real-time Ada workshop (2002)

Recently, a framework was proposed intended to support the development of replicated and distributed Ravenscar applications. This framework provides a transparent abstraction for application replication, allowing applications to be developed without considering replication and distribution issues. However, it is also necessary to assess if the Ravenscar profile is expressive enough for the implementation of this complex middleware. Therefore, this paper presents some conclusions that were drawn on the implementation of a prototype of the framework.
Explicit Solutions for Transcendental Equations
Authors: Rogelio Luck, James W. Stevens
Venue: SIAM Review (2002)

A simple method to formulate an explicit expression for the roots of any analytic transcendental function is presented. The method is based on Cauchy's integral theorem and uses only basic concepts of complex integration. One convenient method for numerically evaluating the exact expression is presented. The application of both the formulation and evaluation of the exact expression is illustrated for several classical root finding problems.

Venue:  (2001)

:Programming Languages: Principles and Paradigms by Allen Tucker and Robert Noonan is provides balanced coverage of both the principles of language design and the different programming paradigms. The principles of language design are covered using a formal model and a hands-on laboratory suite that uses a Java interpreter to implement the formal model. This approach gives students an excellent grasp of language design theory and its relationship to practice. It also lays the foundation for the paradigms that are presented in the second half of the book. The text presents and contrasts six major programming paradigms: imperitave,object-oriented,functional,logic,concurrent,and event-driven programming. Through the use of one language for each paradigm,students gain a deep understanding of the paradigm without being distracted by a profusion of languages.

Laws of large numbers and tail inequalities for random tries and PATRICIA trees
Authors: Luc Devroye
Venue: Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics (2002)

We consider random tries and random PATRICIA trees constructed from n independent strings of symbols drawn from any distribution on any discrete space. If Hn, is the height of this tree, we show that Hn/E{Hn} tends to one in probability. Additional tail inequalities are given for the height, depth, size, internal path length, and profile of these trees and ordinary tries that apply without any conditions on the string distributions---they need not even be identically distributed.
A service architecture for mobile teamwork
Authors: Engin Kirda, Pascal Fenkam, Gerald Reif, Harald Gall
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

Mobile teamwork has become an emerging requirement in the daily business of large enterprises. Employees collaborate across locations and need support while they are on the move. Business documents (artifacts) and expertise need to be shared independent of the actual location or connectivity (e.g., access through a mobile phone, laptop, Personal Digital Assistant, etc.) of employees. Although many collaboration tools and systems exist, most do not deal with new requirements such as locating artifacts and experts through distributed searches, advanced information subscription and notification, and mobile information sharing and access. The MOTION service architecture that we have developed supports mobile teamwork by taking into account the different connectivity modes of users, provides access support for various devices such as laptop computers and mobile phones, and uses XML meta-data and the XML Query Language (XQL) for distributed searches and subscriptions. In this paper, we describe the architecture and the components of our generic MOTION service platform for building collaborative applications. The MOTION Teamwork Services Components are currently being evaluated in two industry case-studies.
Enhancing nonverbal human computer interaction with expression recognition

Venue: Issue 67 (June 2000) (2000)

This paper describes an integrated system for human emotion recognition, which is used to provide feedback about the relevance or impact of the information that is presented to the user. Other techniques in this field extract explicit motion fields from the areas of interest and classify them with the help of templates or training sets; the proposed system, however, compares indication of muscle activation from the human face to data taken from similar actions of a 3-d head model. This comparison takes place at curve level, with each curve being drawn from detected feature points in an image sequence or from selected vertices of the polygonal model. The result of this process is identification of the muscles that contribute to the detected motion; this conclusion can then be used in conjunction with the Mimic Language, a table structure that maps groups of muscles to emotions. This method can be applied to either frontal or rotated views, as the curves that are calculated are easier to rotate in 3-d space than motion vector fields. The notion of describing motion with specific points is also supported in MPEG-4 and the relevant encoded data can be used in the same context, to eliminate the need to use machine vision techniques.
A collaborative framework for integrated part and assembly modeling
Authors: Rafael Bidarra, Niels Kranendonk, Alex Noort, Willem F. Bronsvoort
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Solid modeling and applications (2002)

An ideal product modeling system should support both part modeling and assembly modeling, instead of just either of them as is the case in most current CAD systems. A good basis for such integration is multiple-view feature modeling, as it allows focusing on different aspects of the product, while at the same time maintaining the consistency among all model views. This paper presents a framework that supports synchronous collaborative sessions via the Internet, among members of a distributed development team, with such a modeling system. The framework provides facilities for creating a hierarchical product structure, with single and compound components, and meanwhile assigning tasks to team members. The actual design of a single component is supported by a web-client specialized in part design, whereas the specification of assembly relations among components is supported by a web-client specialized in assembly design. All clients make use of the same server, which runs a multiple-view feature modeling kernel and maintains the complete product model, guaranteeing the consistency between the part design and the assembly design views. In addition, the server keeps all clients up to date and manages all communication.
