Description: This course offers an introduction to the methodology of large-scale dynamic programming, with emphasis on computational methods and applications. The objective is to provide students in the areas of operations management, finance and economics with working knowledge of the dynamic programming methodology and state-of-the-art approaches for dealing with the curse of methodology. By...

NVIDIA’s Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) and its attached C/C++ based API went a long way towards making GPUs more accessible to mainstream programming. So far, the use of GPUs for high performance computing has been primarily restricted to data parallel applications, and with good reason. The high number of computational cores and high memory bandwidth supported by the device makes ...

Programming distributed applications free from communication deadlocks and race conditions is complex. Preserving these properties when applications are updated at runtime is even harder. We present a choreographic approach for programming updatable, distributed applications. We define a choreography language, called Dynamic Interaction-Oriented Choreography (DIOC), that allows the programmer t...

Cultures deal with their environments by adapting to them and simultaneously changing them. This is particularly true for technological cultures, such as the dynamic culture of computer users. To date, the ability to change computing environments in non-trivial ways has been dependent upon the skill of programming. Because this skill has been hard to acquire, most computer users must adapt to c...

Ubiquitous systems have to cope with more heterogeneous and more dynamic environments than traditional distributed systems. The criticity of application domains related to ubiquitous computing requires to ensure the robustness of applications before their deployment in actual situations. Some approaches handle the dynamicity of ubiquitous environments but propose generic programming frameworks....

We present a typed core language for web applications that integrates interface definition, business logic and database manipulation. By expressing the interactions between different application layers in the same programming language, we gain the benefits of strongly typed languages without loosing the programming flexibility of interpreted languages which is frequently an argument in favor of...

Power management strategies play a key role in the design process of hybrid electric vehicles. Electric Assist Control Strategy (EACS) is one of the popular power management strategies for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). The present investigation proposes a new framework to advance the EACS. Dynamic Programming method is applied to an HEV model in several drive cycles, and as a result, some op...
