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...
This paper presents a new communication service for ATM networks that provides one-way, adjustable rate, on-demand communication channels. The proposed dynamic flow service is des...
Predicting the running time of a parallel program is useful for determining the optimal values for the parameters of the implementation and the optimal mapping of data on processo...
Space deformation is an important tool in computer animation and shape design. In this paper we propose a new local deformation model based on generalized metaballs. The user spec...
This paper shows how a recently introduced class of applications can be solved by constraint programming. This new type of application is due to the emergence of special real-time...
