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... -
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... -
8 Semi-Autonomous Human-Robot Interaction for People with Disability
This chapter presents an innovative semi-autonomous human-robot interaction concept for people with disability and discusses a proof-of-concept... -
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... -
1 Rapid Collision Dynamics for Multiple Contacts with Friction
We examine the interaction of complex two-dimensional rigid bodies with friction. Given their idealized description, many different feasible... -
Dynamic Complexity in the Internet Traffic
The Internet is one of the most enormous autonomously distributed network systems created by human being. There is no central control in the Internet... -
Macroscopic Dynamics in Large-Scale Data Networks
Modern society grows increasingly reliant on the Internet, a network of global reach that supports many services and clients. However, in such a... -
Chaos-Based Generation of Arti.cial Self-Similar Traffic
The exploitation of the unique features of chaotic dynamics for performance improvement recently became a widely followed path in several field of... -
Dynamical Properties of Externally Driven TCP traffic
One of the most influential achievements of the last sanctuary was the emergence of a decentralized, highly heterogenous, global communication... -
7. Scheduling of Switched Server Systems
In this chapter, we shall present an interesting and practical application of the stability results obtained in Chapter 2. Specifically, the... -
15 Effects of Grip** and Translational Forces on Teleoperation
For minimally invasive surgical teleoperation systems, it is often impractical to provide the same number of degrees of freedom (dof) for position... -
2 Does Torque Minimization Yield a Stable Human Grasp?
In this chapter, we present a study of the human grasp conducted with a mathematical formalism that has been developed in robotics during the last... -
Modelling the Complex Internet Topology
Internet is one of the most impressive creatures of our civilization; it has literally changed the ways we do business, communication, education,...
