Habit of Vespa

Physical Classification of Galaxies with MOPED/VESPA

The availability of high-quality spectra for a large number of galaxies in the SDSS survey allows for a more sophisticated extraction of information about their stellar populations than, e.g., the luminosity weighted age. Indeed, sophisticated and robust techniques to fully analyze galaxy spectra have now reached enough maturity as to trust their results and findings. By reconstructing the star...

Data aggregation in VANETs: the VESPA approach

VESPA (Vehicular Event Sharing with a mobile P2P Architecture) 1 is a system for enabling vehicles to share information in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). The originality of VESPA is to process and disseminate any type of event (e.g., available parking spaces, accidents, emergency braking, information relative to the coordination of vehicles in emergency situations, etc.). The basic functio...

VESPA: VIPT Enhancements for Superpage Accesses

L1 caches are critical to the performance of modern computer systems. Their design involves a delicate balance between fast lookups, high hit rates, low access energy, and simplicity of implementation. Unfortunately, constraints imposed by virtual memory make it difficult to satisfy all these attributes today. Specifically, the modern staple of supporting virtualindexing and physical-tagging (V...

Habit formation

Habits, both good ones and bad ones, are pervasive in animal behavior. Important frameworks have been developed to understand habits through psychological and neurobiological studies. This work has given us a rich understanding of brain networks that promote habits, and has also helped us to understand what constitutes a habitual behavior as opposed to a behavior that is more flexible and prosp...
