A graph theoretic approach is described for the design of multivariable control for large systems as an alternative to geometric methods. An example is given f⊙r a distillation column to demonstrate the technique, with a ...

It is demonstrated how well-established graph theoretic results can be exploited in the analysis of large-scale systems, and directed towards questions of design such as controllability and stability. The generalized nature ...

eHealth has attained significant importance as a new mechanism for health management and medical practice. However, the technological growth of eHealth is still limited by technical expertise needed to develop appropriate ...

Two hardware methods for remedying the effects of true data dependences are studied. The first method, dependence speculation, is used to eliminate address generation-load dependences. This is enabled by address prediction ...

This work investigates the potential of direction-correlations to improve branch prediction. There are two types of direction- correlation: affectors and affectees. This work considers for the first time their implications ...

This paper proposes implicit-storing to extend the logical capacity of a memory array without increasing its physical capacity by leveraging the array's error-correction-codes to infer the implicitly stored bits. ...

Basic properties of program predictability - for both values and control - are defined and studied. We take the view that program predictability originates at certain points during a program's execution, flows through ...

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 ...
