Recently, distributed shared memory (DSM) systems have received much attention because such an abstraction simpliies programming. It has been shown that many practical applications using DSMs require competing operations. We have aimed at unifying theory and implementations of protocols for sequential consistency, which provides competing operations. By adopting concepts from concurrency contro...

This paper studies the lateral control problem for intelligent vehicles based on concept of shared control. Considering participation drivers in loop, a control-based controller is designed, which consists two differed controllers: one an LQR-based autonomous driving and other driver’s intention-based fuzzy controller. For vehicle dynamic model with two-degrees freedom, LQR are designed. Then, ...

We analyze the costs and benefits of allowing stakeholders in a firm to share control. In our model, there are conflicts among stakeholders and bargaining does not always lead to efficient decision-making. Although the logic of the Coase Theorem is such that bargaining problems lower the efficiency of decision-making regardless of who has control, we show that conflicts among parties favor undi...

Assistive devices, like powered wheelchairs and other mobility aids, have greatly enhanced the quality of life for individuals with disabilities. While assistive robotic arms increase the accessibility of physical manipulation tasks, they are difficult to teleoperate effectively. When controlling an arm with many degrees of freedom using a lower-dimensional input, even simple tasks can become t...

the present study attempted to introduce shared reading as one of the most effective techniques in cultivating the learners’ reading and writing abilities. to this end, 50 homogenous students were assigned to the control and experimental groups following the administration of a standardized english proficiency test. thenceforth, based on writing and reading pretest scores of the learners on a g...

This paper studies the optimal allocation of decision rights between an uninformed principal and an informed agent when interdependent activities need to be adapted to local conditions. While the principal cares only about overall pro…ts the agent may favor higher, or lower, levels for each activity than the pro…t-maximizing level. The principal has limited commitment power and can only commit ...

Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) is the implementation of the shared memory programming paradigm on a distributed memory (or multicomputer) system. Programming multicomputer systems using Distributed Shared Memory as the programming model is appealing because it combines the performance advantage of distributed memory systems and the ease of programming of shared memory systems. In DSM systems, ...

The asymmetry in bilateral teleoperation, i.e., the differences of mechanical structures, sizes, and number joints between master slave robots, can introduce kinematics redundancy workspace inequality problems. In this article, a novel shared autonomy control strategy is proposed for handling which has two main contributions. First, to deal with redundancy, provides self-regulation algorithm or...
