Today, an SSD (Solid State Drive) is essentially a block device attached to a legacy host interface. As a result, the system I/O bus remains a bottleneck, and the abundant flash memory bandwidth as well as the computing capabilities inside SSD is largely untapped. In this paper, we motivate an efficient in-storage computing approach where (part of) data-intensive processing is moved from the ho...

We propose a way to control several robots at a glance by using visual data provided by a single vision camera. Position and orientation of the group is given by a main robot (a master) which has a very simple camera on its top. This robot also has two encoders for determining its positioning related to the origin. The other (slave) robots have no position/orientation sensors as camera/angle-se...

background and objectives: knowledge management (km) has emerged as a pathway towards competitive advantage in current complex industrial environment. the aim of the present study was to explore the relationship between km effectiveness and various organizational factors including social interactions (trust, communication and coordination), infrastructure factors (structure, information technol...

additional knowledge are automatically generated and integrated for the use of the cooperative community. As a consequence ISs are transformed into Cooperative Agents. In the consultation mode, the Shell provides the means for user interaction with either a separated agent or a set of agents (a society of agents) pursuing an overall common goal. This paper describes the general principles of co...
