In this thesis we are interested in a particular class of problems which frequently appear in robotics (and many other areas as chemistry, molecular biology, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), and aeronautics). They are systems of distance equations with uncertainties. Uncertain values mean values which are not exactly determined but are bounded by well-known limits. These values are represented as i...

This thesis concentrates on real-time acoustic simulations for virtual reality applications or video games. Such applications require huge computing times, increasing with the complexity of the scene and involving difficulties for interactive rendering. In particular, the real-time simulation of a complex sound scene remains difficult due to the independent processing of each sound source. More...

We present a new Monte Carlo code for multiparticle production in collisions of nucleons with photons of an ambient photon eld. The nucleon-photon cross section is reproduced in terms of excitation/decay of baryon resonances, direct single pion production, diiractive scattering and non{diiractive multiparticle production. A complete simulation of the nal state is performed including all astroph...

syntax tree Tree representation of a computer program, that keeps only the semantically significant information and abstracts away syntactic sugar such as indentation, parentheses, or separators. control flow graph Representation of a procedure body as a directed graph, whose nodes, known as basic blocks, contain each a list of instructions to be executed in sequence, and whose arcs represent a...
