In this paper a robust road departure avoidance system based on a closed-loop driver decision estimator (DDE) is presented. The main idea is that of incorporating the driver intent in the control of the vehicle. The driver decision estimator computes the vehicle look ahead lateral position based on the driver input and uses this position to establish the risk of road departure. To induce a risk...

This paper shows how to use the task frame (TF) to easily model, implement and execute 3D robotic tasks, which integrate force control and visual servoing, in an uncalibrated workspace. In contrast to most hybrid vision/force research, this work uses eye-in-hand vision and force control. Mounting both sensors on the same end effector gives rise to new constraints, control issues and advantages,...

Shared control (also known as continuous haptic guidance or haptically active controls) has recently been introduced in car driving. With shared control, the driver receives continuous force feedback on the gas pedal or steering wheel, so that human and machine conduct the driving task simultaneously. Experiments in driving simulators have shown that shared control reduces control variability a...

In the paper, a communication infrastructure for faulttolerant embedded control system is discussed. It was developed as a part of experimental platform of the IFATIS project within the 5th European Union framework programme, dealing with dependable, reconfigurable integrated control systems. In such environments, a reliable and robust physical interconnection is required. The communication is ...

In This research work we discussed about Networked control systems (NCS) for controlling flow rate of two nonintrecting tank processes using ANN controller. Basically NCS are used for distributed computing and control systems with sensors, actuators and controllers that communicate over a shared medium. The distributed nature of NCS and issues related to the shared communication medium pose sig...

this report presents a 52-year-old woman who was admitted to nephrology ward with hypernatremia. she shared a persecutory delusion of poisoning with her 22-year-old daughter and did not feed her 8-year-old son due to her delusion. keywords: shared paranoid disorder, delusions, schizophrenia, paranoid.

We initiate a program to develop a principled theory of secure systems. Our main technical result is a formal logic for reasoning about a network of shared memory, multi-user systems. The logic is inspired by an existing logic for security protocols. It extends the attacker model and adds shared memory, time, and limited forms of access control. We prove soundness for the proof system in the pr...

Most distributed shared memory systems use point-topoint networks in conjunction with directory-based cache coherence protocols. Cache invalidation transaction generates a number of unicast invalidation messages and as many acknowledgment messages. This results in heavy network traffic, high latency, and high occupancy at home nodes. This paper introduces a fast cache invalidation method, calle...

This paper discusses a novel approach to implementing OpenMP on clusters. Traditional approaches to do so rely on Software Distributed Shared Memory systems to handle shared data. We discuss these and then introduce an alternative approach that translates OpenMP to Global Arrays (GA), explaining the basic strategy. GA requires a data distribution. We do not expect the user to supply this; rathe...
