Abstract. In software transactional memory (STM) systems, a contention manager resolves conflicts among transactions accessing the same memory locations. Whereas atomicity and ser...
— This paper describes a two-sweep control design method to stabilize the acrobot, an input-affine under-actuated system, at the upper equilibrium point. In the forward sweep, t...
Type systems currently available for imperative languages are too weak to detect a significant class of programming errors. For example, they cannot express the property that a l...
