    • Burst-polling based dynamic bandwidth allocation using adaptive minimum guaranteed bandwidth for EPONs 

      Lim, Wansu; Yun, Changho; Yang, Yeon-Mo; Lee, Hyunju; Kim, Kiseon (2009-12)
      The enhanced burst-polling dynamic bandwidth allocation (EBDBA) method is proposed to support broadband access networks based on quality of service for Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs). EBDBA adaptively increases ...

    • Calculating WCET Estimates from Timed Traces 

      Zolda, Michael; Kirner, Raimund (2015-09-01)
      Real-time systems engineers face a daunting duty: They must ensure that each task in their system can always meet its deadline. To analyse schedulability they must know the worst-case execution time (WCET) of each task. ...

    • Can models of agents be transferred between different areas 

      Aylett, R.; Dautenhahn, K.; Doran, J.; Luck, M.; Moss, S.; Tennenholtz, M. (2000)
      One of the main reasons for the sustained activity and interest in the field of agent-based systems, apart from the obvious recognition of its value as a natural and intuitive way of understanding the world, is its reach ...

    • Can Real-time, Adaptive Human-Robot Motor Coordination Improve Humans’ Overall Perception of a Robot? 

      Shen, Qiming; Dautenhahn, K.; Saunders, Joe; Kose, Hatice (2015-03)
      Previous research on social interaction among humans suggested that interpersonal motor coordination can help to establish social rapport. Our research addresses the question of whether, in a human-humanoid interaction ...

      Werry, I.; Dautenhahn, K.; Ogden, B.; Harwin, W. (2001)
      Increasingly socially intelligent agents (software or robotic) are used in education, rehabilitation and therapy. This paper discusses the role of inter-active, mobile robots as social mediators in the particular domain ...

    • Can you trust your robotic assistant? 

      Amirabdollahian, F.; Dautenhahn, K.; Dixon, C.; Eder, K.; Fisher, M.; Koay, K.L.; Magid, E.; Pipe, T.; Salem, M.; Saunders, J.; Webster, M. (Springer Nature, 2013-10)
      Robotic assistants are being developed to assist with a range of tasks at work and home. Besides designing and developing such robotic assistants, a key issue that needs to be addressed is showing that they are both safe ...

    • A Candour-based Trust and Reputation Management System for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks 

      Chiejina, Eric; Xiao, Hannan; Christianson, B. (University of York, 2013)
      The decentralized administrative controlled-nature of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) presents security vulnerabilities which can lead to attacks such as malicious modification of packets. To enhance security in MANETs, ...

    • Care-O-bot® 3 - Vision of a robot butler 

      Reiser, U.; Jacobs, T.; Arbeiter, G.; Parlitz, C.; Dautenhahn, K. (Springer Nature, 2013)
      This chapter promotes the idea of a robot butler and investigates the advantages and disadvantages of embodiment for the proposed scenario,Tina and her butler". In order to make the discussion more tangible, Care-O-bot® 3 ...

    • A Case for Redundant Arrays of Hybrid Disks (RAHD) 

      Wang, F.; Helian, N.; Wu, S.; Guo, Y.K.; Deng, D.; Khare, V.; Liao, C.; Rashidi, M.; Parker, A. (2008)
      Hybrid Hard Disk Drive was originally concepted by Samsung, which incorporates a Flash memory in a magnetic disk. The combined ultra-high-density benefits of magnetic storage and the low-power and fast read access of NAND ...

    • Case Study Research in Software Engineering : Guidelines and Examples 

      Runeson, Per; Host, Martin; Rainer, Austen; Regnell, Bjorn (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)
      Gives detailed practical guidelines on the preparation, conduct, design and reporting of case studies of software engineering

    • Caterpillar duality for constraint satisfaction problems 

      Carvalho, Catarina; Dalmau, Víctor; Krokhin, Andrei (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008)

    • Causal blankets : Theory and algorithmic framework 

      Rosas, Fernando E.; Mediano, Pedro A.M.; Biehl, Martin; Chandaria, Shamil; Polani, Daniel (Springer Nature, 2020-12-18)
      We introduce a novel framework to identify perception-action loops (PALOs) directly from data based on the principles of computational mechanics. Our approach is based on the notion of causal blanket, which captures sensory ...

    • A CCS case study: a safety-critical system 

      Baillie, J. (University of Hertfordshire, 1990)
      A level crossing control system is specified in CCS, motivated by a temporal logic specification of the safety requirements. We show that with certain reservations, these can be satisfactorily stated entirely within CCS. ...

    • CD(4) has bounded width 

      Carvalho, Catarina; Dalmau, Víctor; Marković, Petar; Maróti, Miklós (2009)
      We prove that the constraint languages invariant under a short sequence of J\'onsson terms (containing at most three non-trivial ternary terms) are tractable by showing that they have bounded width. This improves the ...

    • Centrosomin represses dendrite branching by orienting microtubule nucleation 

      Yalgin, Cagri; Ebrahimi, Saman; Delandre, Caroline; Yoong, Li Foong; Akimoto, Saori; Tran, Heidi; Amikura, Reiko; Spokony, Rebecca; Torben-Nielsen, Ben; White, Kevin P.; Moore, Adrian W. (2015-10-01)
