Instrumentation (General Session)

Instrumentation and methods: general discussion.

Jochen Küpper opened the discussion of the paper by John Spence by commenting: Dear Speakers, following the discussions of relevant time-scales in your papers and especially based on the suggestion of John Spence, that biology is made up of "slow processes", I would like to hear your opinion on what are the relevant timescales to understand nature. What range of time-scales are relevant for the...

General Session Types

We present a streamlined theory of session types based on a simple yet general and expressive formalism whose main features are semantically characterized and where each design choice is semantically justified. We formally define the semantics of session types and use it to define the subsessioning relation. We give a coinductive characterization of subsessioning and describe algorithms to deci...

General report: session on connections

As a result of a world-wide intensive research activity, a new design concept for structural moment resistant joints has been suggested and implemented in design codes. In the present paper, its background is first briefly described and the main contributions to its development are presented. As a matter of fact, because of the high number of past and ongoing researches, reports and papers devo...

Session 2259 The Integrated Systems Engineering Laboratory – An Innovative Approach to Vertical Integration using Modern Instrumentation

The current paradigm in engineering course instruction builds on a lecture prerequisite structure but ignores the need for a laboratory prerequisite structure. Educational quality is therefore diminished as instructors optimize specific laboratories but fail to optimize the overall program laboratory experience. This paper presents a learning environment based on modern instrumentation that for...
