      Algorithmic mechanisms for internet supercomputing under unreliable communication 

      Christoforou, Evgenia; Fernández Anta, Antonio; Georgiou, Chryssis; Mosteiro, Miguel A. (2011)
      This work, using a game-theoretic approach, considers Internet-based computations, where a master processor assigns, over the Internet, a computational task to a set of untrusted worker processors, and collects their ...

      Algorithmic mechanisms for internet-based master-worker computing with untrusted and selfish workers 

      Fernández Anta, Antonio; Georgiou, Chryssis; Mosteiro, Miguel A. (2010)
      We consider Internet-based master-worker computations, where a master processor assigns, across the Internet, a computational task to a set of untrusted worker processors, and collects their responses

      Algorithmic mechanisms for reliable master-worker internet-based computing 

      Christoforou, Evgenia; Fernández Anta, Antonio; Georgiou, Chryssis; Mosteiro, Miguel A. (2014)
      We consider Internet-based master-worker computations, where a master processor assigns, across the Internet, a computational task to a set of untrusted worker processors, and collects their responses. Examples of such ...

      Applying the dynamics of evolution to achieve reliability in master-worker computing 

      Christoforou, Evgenia; Fernández Anta, Antonio; Georgiou, Chryssis; Mosteiro, Miguel A.; Sánchez, A. (2013)
      We consider Internet-based master-worker task computations, such as SETI@home, where a master process sends tasks, across the Internet, to worker processes

      Brief announcement: Achieving reliability in master-worker computing via evolutionary dynamics 

      Christoforou, Evgenia; Fernández Anta, Antonio; Georgiou, Chryssis; Mosteiro, Miguel A.; Sanchez, A. (2012)
      This work considers Internet-based task computations in which a master process assigns tasks, over the Internet, to rational workers and collect their responses. The objective is for the master to obtain the correct task ...

      Evaluation metrics of upper extremities for people with neurological disorders: An energy based approach 

      Ilia, T.; Louca, Loucas S. (American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2017)
      Various neurological disorders, like Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Huntington's disease and Stroke, affect millions of people worldwide. Tremor that is a result of these disorders affects the performance of many ...

      Marine propeller design using artificial neural networks 

      Neocleous, Constantinos C.; Schizas, Christos N. (IEEE, 1999)
      The proper selection of marine propellers is in general an involved and time-consuming design task. It is mostly based on searching large mounts of experimental data in order to find a proper matching of performance ...

      Minimally actuated four-bar linkages for upper limb rehabilitation 

      Xydas, E.; Mueller, A.; Louca, Loucas S. (2018)
      In the previous years the scientific community dealt extensively with designing, developing and testing robot-based rehabilitation systems. Besides the benefits that resulted for disabled people, this twenty-year endeavor ...

      Multi-round Master-Worker Computing: A Repeated Game Approach 

      Fernández Anta, Antonio; Georgiou, Chryssis; Mosteiro, Miguel A.; Pareja, D. (IEEE Computer Society, 2016)
      We consider a computing system where a master processor assigns tasks for execution to worker processors through the Internet. We model the workers' decision of whether to comply (compute the task) or not (return a bogus ...

      On the development strategy of an architecture for E-health service robots 

      Santos, L.; Dias, J.; Christophorou, C.; Christodoulou, Eleni; Samaras, George S. (IADIS, 2014)
      This paper presents a service robot architecture based on the principles of a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), whose modularity design maximizes the benefits of multidisciplinary contributions from researchers of ...

      Using the milliken moment method and dynamic simulation to evaluate vehicle stability and controllability 

      Hoffman, R. C.; Louca, Loucas S.; Stein, J. L.; Huh, K. (American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004)
      The Milliken Moment Method (MMM) is a way of efficiently organizing the results from a kinematically constrained vehicle test. Using the MMM and closed-loop dynamic simulation, the authors present a new method for evaluating ...
