automobile body plays crucial role in preventing the collision energy transfer in severe accidents to the passengers. if the collision energy is dissipated or saved in bumper or chassis, the amount of damage to the occupants would be minimized. using novel laminated panel (fiber metal laminate) in auto body, and considering the characteristics such as high energy absorption, strength, high dent...

Industrial robot – manipulator is an irreplaceable device capable to execute the task of accurate and repeatable positioning of its end effector. In order to achieve this goal system rigidity is very important as well as installed power, capable for fast and reliable manipulation of both: its own weight and payload. Light weight arms, on the other hand, have very complex task. Ratio between sel...

In this paper, we explain mechanisms for providing embedded network processors and other low-level programming environments with light-weight support for safe resource sharing. The solution consists of a host part, known as HOKES, and a network processor part, known as POKES. As common operating system concepts are considered to be too heavy-weight for this environment, we developed a system th...

Discovering and composing services is a core functionality of a service-oriented software system. Semantic web services promise to support and (partially) automate these tasks. But creating semantic service specifications is a difficult, time-consuming, and error prone task which is typically performed by service engineers. In this paper, we present a community-based approach to the creation of...

Started from the very beginning, Stemming has been playing significant roles in several Natural Language Processing Applications such as information retrieval (IR), machine translation (MT), morph analysis and deciding the part of speech (POS). Several stemmers have been developed for a large number of languages including Indian languages; however no work has been done in Kokborok, a native lan...

This paper reports a practical experience of implementing a group communication service using a protocol composition framework. Specifically, the paper describes the implementation of a Light-Weight Groups (LWG) service on the Ensemble system. This is an interesting case-study because the LWG service is very demanding in terms of protocol composition since its implementation requires the use of...

The virtual synchrony model for group communication has proven to be a powerful paradigm for building distributed applications. Implementations of virtual synchrony usually require the use of failure detectors and failure recovery protocols. In applications that require the use of a large number of groups, significant performance gains can be attained if these groups share the resources require...
