Dynamic pulse scheduling in ASDEX Upgrade: Disruption avoidance and investigation of the H-Mode density limit

Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Alessandro Pau, Bernhard Sieglin

Operation of a tokamak device requires the coordinated operation of a multitude of systems. The sequence of operations during a discharge is both too complex and fast for human interaction. A common way of operation is a predefined sequence of operations w ...

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

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

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 ...

Growth, Properties, and Applications of Al1-xScxN Thin Films

Paul Muralt, Stefan Mertin, Mohammad Fazel Parsapour Kolour, Vladimir Pashchenko

The discovery of enhanced piezoelectricity in solid solutions of AlN and ScN is certainly one of the most important events in piezoelectric MEMS. As compared to pure AlN, it brought a crucial factor 2 to 3 improvement in a number of figures of merit govern ...

Theory and Practice of Coroutines with Snapshots

Aleksandar Prokopec, Fengyun Liu

While event-driven programming is a widespread model for asynchronous computing, its inherent control flow fragmentation makes event-driven programs notoriously difficult to understand and maintain. Coroutines are a general control flow construct that can ...

Systematically testing OpenFlow controller applications

Dejan Kostic, Marco Canini, Peter Peresini, Maciej Leszek Kuzniar, Jennifer Rexford

The emergence of OpenFlow-capable switches enables exciting new network functionality, at the risk of programming errors that make communication less reliable. The centralized programming model, where a single controller program manages the network, seems ...

Reactive Processing of RDF Streams of Events

Karl Aberer, Jean Paul Calbimonte Perez

Events on the Web are increasingly being produced in the form of data streams, and are present in many different scenarios and applications such as health monitoring, environmental sensing or social networks. The heterogeneity of event streams has raised t ...

High-level dataflow design of signal processing systems for reconfigurable and multicore heterogeneous platforms

Marco Mattavelli, Endri Bezati, Ghislain Roquier, Richard Thavot

The potential computational power of today multicore processors has drastically improved compared to the single processor architecture. Since the trend of increasing the processor frequency is almost over, the competition for increased performance has move ...

Containers and Aggregates, Mutators and Isolates for Reactive Programming

Martin Odersky, Philipp Haller, Aleksandar Prokopec

Many programs have an inherently reactive nature imposed by the functional dependencies between their data and external events. Classically, these dependencies are dealt with using callbacks. Reactive programming with first-class reactive values is a parad ...

A NICE Way to Test OpenFlow Applications

Dejan Kostic, Marco Canini, Peter Peresini, Jennifer Rexford

The emergence of OpenFlow-capable switches enables exciting new network functionality, at the risk of programming errors that make communication less reliable. The centralized programming model, where a single controller program manages the network, seems ...

On the Performance of Software Transactional Memory

Aleksandar Dragojevic

The recent proliferation of multi-core processors has moved concurrent programming into mainstream by forcing increasingly more programmers to write parallel code. Using traditional concurrency techniques, such as locking, is notoriously difficult and has ...

Agile Views in a Dynamic Data Management System

Christoph Koch, Yanif Ahmad

This paper calls for a new breed of lightweight systems - dynamic data management systems (DDMS). In a nutshell, a DDMS manages large dynamic data structures with agile, frequently fresh views, and provides a facility for monitoring these views and trigger ...

Scala actors: Unifying thread-based and event-based programming

Martin Odersky, Philipp Haller

There is an impedance mismatch between message-passing concurrency and virtual machines, such as the JVM. VMs usually map their threads to heavyweight OS processes. Without a lightweight process abstraction, users are often forced to write parts of concurr ...

High-Performance Transactional Event Processing

Rachid Guerraoui, Jesper Honig Spring, Antonio Cunei

This paper presents a transactional framework for low-latency, high-performance, concurrent event processing in Java. At the heart of our framework lies Reﬂexes, a restricted programming model for highly responsive systems. A Reﬂex task is an event process ...

Type-based event dissemination

Sébastien Bähni

With the explosion of broadband Internet connections in the late 80s, new types of applications, called distributed applications, came to light. These applications typically seek to provide a user with remote services that appear to that user as if they we ...
