The control problem of an electromechanical system becomes more complex when the flexibility and friction are taken into account in the system model. To approach this problem, an electromechanical system is studied in this ...

Supporting Quality of Service (QoS) in mobile networks requires that admission control algorithms incorporate user mobility, and limit the probability that sufficient resources are unavailable when a user must handoff. In ...

This paper presents a formula-based method for the design of IIR filters having more zeros than (nontrivial) poles. The filters are designed so that their square magnitude frequency responses are maximally-flat at <i>m</i> ...

Next-generation computing systems will be highly integrated using wireless networking. The Rice Everywhere NEtwork (RENÃ ) project is exploring the integration of WCDMA cellular systems, high speed wireless LANs, and home ...

This thesis describes a method to simulate parallel programs written for shared memory multiprocessors. We have extended execution-driven simulation to facilitate the simulation of shared memory. We have developed a shared ...

In this paper, we consider the case for adopting a truly 'digital' type of robot, which would evolve between a discrete and finite set of states. We adopt the point of view that the advantages of traditional robotic evolution ...
