Synchronous Reactive Modelling provides an optimal framework for the modular decomposition of programs that engage in complex patterns of deterministic interaction, such as many real-time and communication entities. This paper presents an approach which includes performance modelling techniques in the Synchronous Reactive Modelling method supported by Esterel. It deenes a methodology based on t...

Mobile Adhoc networks are infra structure-less and are categorized by multi-hop wireless connectivity and dynamic changing network topology. They are self organized networks without dependency on any fixed infrastructure. Application area of MANET is varied, ranging from small, static networks to large scale highly mobile and highly dynamic networks. Routing is an important issue in wireless ad...

To examine the effect of a cognitive task on intentional vs. reactive balance control in people with hemiparetic stroke (PwHS). Community-dwelling PwHS (n = 10) and healthy, age-similar controls performed two tests, which included the Limits of Stability Test (intentional control) and the Motor Control Test (reactive control), under single-task (ST) and dual-task (DT) conditions (addition of a ...

Handovers of objects are critical interactions that frequently arise in physical collaborations. In such interactions, humans naturally monitor the pace and workload of their partners and adapt their handovers accordingly. In this paper, we investigate how robots designed to engage in physical collaborations may achieve similar adaptivity in performing handovers. To that end, we collected and a...

the paper presents the results of an investigation on the acoustic performance of vertical profile parallel barriers with quadratic residue diffuser tops and faces. a 2d boundary element method (bem) is used to predict the barrier insertion loss. the results of rigid and with absorptive coverage are also calculated for comparisons. using qrd on the top surface and faces of all vertical profile ...

Electronic circuits inevitably involve reactive elements, in some cases intentionally but always at least as significant parasitic elements. Although their influence on circuit performance may be subordinate for a particular circuit reactive elements introduce an ultimate limitation on frequency response and switching speed. Energy storage in a reactive element is a reflection of the prior acti...

Reactive methods for controlling intelligent agents have proven to be a very strong alternative to planning methods, especially in areas such as robotics and game agents, where real-time performance is critical. Despite this success, coordinating teams of reactive agents can be a nontrivial problem. In this work, we present our initial development of a novel method for coordinating reactive age...

This paper presents stability analysis of fuzzy reactive navigation applied to the nonholonomic mobile robot ROMEO-3R. Reactive navigation approaches are emerging as an alternative to (or in combination with) planned schemes, but they usually present worse dynamic performance (oscillations are very common in these techniques). Influence of the own reactive navigation parameters (such as sensor ...

Three-dimensional kinematic analysis examined agility running technique during pre-planned and reactive performance conditions specific to attacking ball carries in rugby union. The variation to running technique of 8 highly trained rugby union players was compared between agility conditions (pre-planned and reactive) and also agility performance speeds (fast, moderate and slow). Kinematic meas...
