Abstract. This paper proposes a nonlinear controller to extend the Zwidth of a haptic device. A time-domain passivity analysis of the Z-width diagram leads to the new haptic contro...
Grid technologies are emerging as the next generation of distributed computing, allowing the aggregation of resources that are geographically distributed across different location...
We study the partitioning of temporal planning problems formulated as mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems, develop methods to reduce the search space of partitioned subpr...
— In this paper, we give sufficient conditions which guarantee the existence of a diffeomorphism in an extended state space that allows to transform a multi-output nonlinear dyn...
A distributed task T on n processors is an input/output relation between a collection of processors' inputs and outputs. While all tasks are solvable if no processor may ever...
