Clustering in Complex Networks
Real, mostly socially rooted networks have the tendency to form the simplest morphological structures observable: triangles, or in other words...
-
Boolean Modelingof Genetic Regulatory Networks
Biological systems form complex networks of interaction on several scales, ranging from the molecular to the ecosystem level. On the subcellular...

Nonlinear Instabilities in TCP-RED
With the growing size and popularity of the Internet, congestion control has emerged as an important problem. Poor management of congestion can...
-
Dynamics of Congestion Control
One reason for the success of TCP and its widespread usage in the Internet is its ability to control network congestion. A TCP source uses implicit...

5 A Practical Audio Acquisition System Using a Robust GSC (RGSC)
In the preceding chapter, we have seen that data-dependent beamformers can be efficiently realized in GSC structures. However, GSCs, or more general...

3 Optimum Linear Filtering
In this chapter, we introduce the concept of optimum linear filtering for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) digital systems for solving...
-
2. Analysis of Switched and Impulsive Systems
The analysis will focus on the case where the switchings are governed by a finite state machine. This is because the common Lyapunov function method...
-
Modeling TCP/RED: a Dynamical Approach
Today’s Internet applications, such as World Wide Web, file transfer, Usenet news, and remote login, are delivered via Transmission Control Protocol...
-
On Dynamics of Transport Protocols Over Wide-Area Internet Connections
The Transport Control Protocol (TCP) is widely deployed over the Internet for reliably transporting data [27], and it accounts for a significant...
-
8 Summary and Conclusions
Convenient human/machine interaction requires acoustic front-ends which allow seamless and hands-free audio communication. For suppressing...

3. Stability of Linear Switched and Impulsive Systems
In the previous chapter, we have set up the basic framework for the stability analysis of switched and impulsive systems. The framework provides the...
-
10. Future Research Directions and Potential Applications
Many interesting applications of switched and impulsive systems have been presented in the previous chapters. We shall conclude this book by...

5 Grasp Synthesis from Example: Tuning the Example to a Task or Object
Many approaches to grasp synthesis do not scale well as the desired number of contacts is increased. In previous work [223], we have presented a...

16 Design of 100G Capturing Robot
How much acceleration can a robot produce? Pursuing a robot with an extremely high response is a challenging matter. We have designed and developed...

10 Tactile Flow and Haptic Discrimination of Softness
Haptic perception involves both cutaneous perception, through mechanoreceptors lying on the skin, and kinaesthetic perception mediated by the...
-
14 Intrinsically Passive Control using Sampled Data System Passivity
In this chapter, which is a distilled version of [271], we present a novel way to approach the interconnection of a continuous and a discrete time...

7 Toward Sensorless Acquisition of Multiple Contact Points Between Planar Parts
A fixture is a device which immobilizes a part through a maximal set of linearly independent contacts. While many techniques exist to determine an...

3 Dynamic Proxies and Haptic Constraints
Haptic simulations strive to provide users with realistic renditions of virtual environments but often struggle to display convincing rigid...
