This paper addresses the problem of reducing the hysteresis found in the actuation of most smart materials. They are divided in two groups: systems with no saturation (e.g. piezoe...
Statically analyzing requirements specifications to assure that they possess desirable properties is an important activity in any rigorous software development project. The analys...
One common problem in the practical application of volume visualization is the proper choice of transfer functions in order to color different parts of the volume meaningfully. Th...
Testing of concurrent programs is much more difficult than that of sequential programs. A concurrent program behaves nondeterministically, that is, the program may produce differe...
—Data dependence analysis techniques are the main component of today’s strategies for automatic detection of parallelism. Parallelism detection strategies are being incorporate...
