Oracular Byzantine Reliable Broadcast

Rachid Guerraoui, Martina Camaioni, Matteo Monti, Manuel José Ribeiro Vidigueira

Byzantine Reliable Broadcast (BRB) is a fundamental distributed computing primitive, with applications ranging from notifications to asynchronous payment systems. Motivated by practical consideration, we study Client-Server Byzantine Reliable Broadcast (CS ...

Explicit dynamic approach for unbounded domains in frictional contact with Rate and State laws

Jean-François Molinari, Roozbeh Rezakhani

The paper explores the ability of an explicit time integration procedure to simulate the dynamics of shear rupture between unbounded elastic blocks on frictional interface, modeled with the finite element method. The behaviour of the interface is governed ...

ROS-Neuro: A common middleware for BMI and robotics. The acquisition and recorder packages

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Luca Tonin, Stefano Tortora

Recent advances in the Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) and in the robotic fields allowed researchers to design a new generation of brain-actuated neuroprostheses to control a variety of assistive devices-ranging from powered wheelchairs to telepresence robot ...

Scalable Synchronization in Shared-Memory Systems: Extrapolating, Adapting, Tuning

Georgios Chatzopoulos

As hardware evolves, so do the needs of applications. To increase the performance of an application, there exist two well-known approaches. These are scaling up an application, using a larger multi-core platform, or scaling out, by distributing work to mul ...

OpenIoT: Open Source Internet-of-Things in the Cloud

Karl Aberer, Manfred Hauswirth, Jean Paul Calbimonte Perez, Ivana Podnar, Mehdi Riahi

Despite the proliferation of Internet-of-Things (IoT) platforms for building and deploying IoT applications in the cloud, there is still no easy way to integrate heterogeneous geographically and administratively dispersed sensors and IoT services in a sema ...

Design and implementation of an efficient data stream processing system

Ali Salehi

In standard database scenarios, an end-user assumes that all data (e.g., sensor readings) is stored in a database. Therefore, one can simply submit any arbitrary complex processing in the form of SQL queries or stored procedures to a database server. Data ...

Web-Enabled Remote Scientific Environments

Denis Gillet, Christophe Salzmann

A new approach to developing Web-enabled environments for remote diagnostics, maintenance, and experimentation in engineering is based on a middleware layer that uses a Java-Internet-Labview server to provide communication between Java programs and Labview ...

Structural and Algorithmic Issues of Dynamic Protocol Update

André Schiper, Olivier Rütti

In this paper, we study dynamic protocol update (DPU). Contrary to local code updates on-the-fly, DPU requires global coordination of local code replacements. We propose a novel solution to DPU. The key idea is to add a level of indirection between the ser ...

Middleware support for the "Internet of Things"

Karl Aberer, Manfred Hauswirth, Ali Salehi

The ``Internet of Things'' intends to enhance items of our everyday life with information and/or processing and interconnect them, so that computers can sense, integrate, present, and react on all kinds of aspects of the physical world. As this implies tha ...

Tashkent: Uniting Durability with Transaction Ordering for High-Performance Scalable Database Replication

Sameh Mohamed Elnikety, Fernando Pedone

In stand-alone databases, the functions of ordering the transaction commits and making the effects of transactions durable are performed in one single action, namely the writing of the commit record to disk. For efficiency many of these writes are grouped ...

Caching Dynamic Web Content: Designing and Analysing an Aspect-Oriented Solution

Willy Zwaenepoel, Sumit Mittal

Caching dynamic web content is an effective approach to reduce Internet latency and server load. An ideal caching solution is one that can be added transparently by the developers and provides complete consistency of the cached documents, while minimizing ...
