In this paper, an intelligent controller capable of static balancing as well as dynamic balancing of a pole mounted on a motorized robot is designed and developed. The brain of the intelligent controller lies in the Fuzzy Inference System (FIS), which receives as its inputs displacement, velocity and acceleration information. An embedded instrumentation system onboard the robot measures the dis...

designing the self-balancing two-wheeled mobile robots and reducing undesired vibrations are of great importance. for this purpose, the majority of researches are focused on application of relatively complex control approaches without improving the robot structure. therefore, in this paper we introduce a new two-wheeled mobile robot which, despite its relative simple structure, fulfills the req...

We study strategies for local load balancing of irregular parallel divide-andconquer algorithms such as Quicksort and Quickhull in SPMD-parallel environments such as MPI and Fork that allow to exploit nested parallelism by dynamic group splitting. We propose two new local strategies, repivoting and serialisation, and develop a hybrid local load balancing strategy, which is calibrated by paramet...

Spatial and temporal load variations, e.g. flash overloads and traffic hot spots that persist for minutes to hours, are intrinsic features of wireless networks, and give rise to potentially huge performance repercussions. Dynamic load balancing strategies provide a natural mechanism for dealing with load fluctuations and alleviating the performance impact. In the present paper we propose a dist...

Increasingly large-scale clusters of PC/WS continue to become majority platform in HPC field. Such a commodity cluster environment, there may be incremental upgrade due to several reasons, such as rapid progress in processor technologies, or user needs and it may cause the performance heterogeneity between nodes from which the application programmer will suffer as load imbalances. To overcome t...

Networks of workstations become more and more appropriate for parallel applications, as modern network technology enables high quality communication between powerful workstations. In this perspective, load balancing software must be extremely exible as the set of available nodes for a particular distributed memory application may change at run time. XENOOPS is an advanced environment for parall...
