— After briefly summarizing the mechanical design of the two joint prototypes for the new DLR variable compliance arm, the paper exemplifies the dynamic modelling of one of the...
The use of feedback control techniques has been gaining importance in real-time scheduling as a means to provide predictable performance in the face of uncertain workload. In this ...
Traffic patterns in manufacturing machines exhibit strong temporal correlations due to the underlying repetitive nature of their operations. A MAC protocol can potentially learn t...
We consider the problem of efficient link-layer multicasting in wireless networks with switched beamforming antennas. The inherent tradeoff between multicasting and beamforming ...
Recent technological advances have opened up several distributed real-time applications involving battery-driven embedded devices with local processing and wireless communication ...
