the following is intended to be a contribution in the area of what could be called efficient algebraic structures or efficient data structures. In fact, we define and construct a new data structure, the tables (abstract and reduced), which are at first special multisets of two-raws arrays. the first raw is filled with words (or more generally, elements taken in some semigroup) and the second with some coefficients taken in a semiring.

Use of intelligent robotic tools promises an alternative and superior way of performing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. In the robotic-assisted surgical paradigm proposed, the conventional surgical tools are replaced with robotic instruments which are under direct control of the surgeon through teleoperation. the robotic tools actively cancel the relative motion between the surgical instruments and the point-of-interest on the beating heart, in contrast to traditional off-pump CABG where the heart is passively constrained to dampen the beating motion. As a result, the surgeon operates on the heart as if it were stationary. We call the proposed algorithm "active relative motion cancelling (ARMC)" to emphasize the active cancellation. In the paper, a model-based intelligent ARMC algorithm is proposed to achieve effective motion cancellation. this is followed by an analysis of local motion of the heart collected using a sonomicrometry system to determine the specifications for ARMC system. Finally, the experimental results of the algorithm implemented on two 1-DOF robotic test-bed systems are reported

this paper analyzes and compares the effectiveness of various system level design methodologies in assessing performance of embedded computing systems from the earliest stages of the design flow. the different methodologies are illustrated and evaluated by applying them to the design of an aircraft pressurization system (APS). the APS is mapped on a heterogeneous hardware/software platform consisting of two ASICs and a microcontroller. the results demonstrate the high impact of computer aided design (CAD) tools on design time and quality.

Designing embedded software for safety-critical, real-time feedback control applications is a complex and error prone task. Fault tolerance is an important aspect of safety. In general, fault tolerance is achieved by duplicating hardware components, a solution that is often more expensive than needed. In applications such as automotive electronics, a subset of the functionalities has to be guaranteed while others are not crucial to the safety of the operation of the vehicle. In this case, we must make sure that this subset is operational under the potential faults of the architecture. A model of computation called fault-tolerant data flow (FTDF) was recently introduced to describe at the highest level of abstraction of the design the fault tolerance requirements on the functionality of the system. then, the problem of implementing the system efficiently on a platform consists of finding a mapping of the FTDF model on the components of the platform. A complete design flow for this kind of application requires a user-friendly graphical interface to capture the functionality of the systems withthe FTDF model, algorithms for choosing an architecture optimally, (possibly automatic) code generation for the parts of the system to be implemented in software and verification tools. In this paper, we use the generic modeling environment (GME) developed at Vanderbilt University to design a graphical design capture system and to provide the infrastructure for automatic code generation. the design flow is embedded into the Metropolis environment developed at the University of California at Berkeley to provide the necessary verification and analysis framework.

the paper presents a verification of the IEEE Root Contention Protocol as an illustration of a new and innovative approach for the verification of real-time distributed systems. systems are modeled with basic Gurevich abstract state machines (ASMs), and requirements are expressed in a first order timed logic (FOTL). FOTL is undecidable, however the protocol we study is in a decidable class of practical interest. Advantages of this framework are twofold: on the one hand, a great expressive power which permits in particular an easy treatment of parameters, on the other hand the modeling task is simplified by an adequat choice of tools.
