  2. 11. Programming Model and Protocols for Reconfigurable Distributed Systems

    Author : Cosmin Ionel Arad; Seif Haridi; Gregory Chockler; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; distributed systems; programming model; message-passing concurrency; nested hierarchical composition; reactive components; software architecture; dynamic reconfiguration; multi-core; discrete-event simulation; peer-to-peer; testing; debugging; distributed key-value stores; data replication; consistency; linearizability; network partition tolerance; consistent hashing; self-organization; scalability; elasticity; fault tolerance; consistent quorums;

    Abstract : Distributed systems are everywhere. From large datacenters to mobile devices, an ever richer assortment of applications and services relies on distributed systems, infrastructure, and protocols. Despite their ubiquity, testing and debugging distributed systems remains notoriously hard. READ MORE

  4. 12. Inference of Hierarchical Structure in Complex Systems

    Author : Olof Görnerup; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein evolution; Substitution groups; Modularity; Hierarchical dynamics; RNA world; Genetic code; Aggregation; Primordial evolution; Molecular evolution; Model reduction; Self-organization; Lumping; Emergence; Coarse graining;

    Abstract : Hierarchical organization is a central property of complex systems. It is even argued that a system is required to be hierarchical in order to evolve complexity within reasonable time. A hierarchy of a system is defined as the set of self-contained levels at which the system operates and can be described on. READ MORE

  5. 13. Structural and evolutionary aspects of stochastic processes

    Author : Olof Görnerup; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Proto-cells.; Emergence; Self-organization; Coarse graining; Model reduction; Hierarchical dynamics; Pre-biotic evolution; Complexity;

    Abstract : Stochastic processes constitute a broad class of objects of central importance in complex systems. The main structural aspect of stochastic processes that is treated in this thesis is their hierarchical dynamics. READ MORE

  6. 14. A Field of Possibilities: Designing and Playing Digital Musical Instruments

    Author : Per Anders Nilsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Digital musical instruments; improvisation; experimental music; jazz; free improvisation; music of sounds; computer music; interaction design; design time – play time; practicing; play; game and sports; self-organization; rules; affordances; predeterminations; artistic research;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on a set of digital musical instruments I have designed and developed with ensemble improvisation in mind. The intention is not to create a universal improvisational instrument, but rather to create a set of instruments which each realize one musical idea. READ MORE

  7. 15. X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy on Nano-Magnet Arrays and Thin Films : Magnetism and Structure

    Author : Andreas Persson; Dimitri Arvanitis; Cormac McGuinness; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; self organization; nano-magnet; xmcd; exafs; peem; magnetism; Surfaces and interfaces; Ytor och mellanytor; Magnetism; Magnetism; Materiefysik; Physics of Matter;

    Abstract : The magnetic and structural properties of nano magnet arrays and ferromagnetic thin films are investigated. Circular x-rays are used and extensive use is made in this Thesis of the X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD) technique. By means of the XMCD magneto-optic sum rules the values of the orbital and spin moments are determined. READ MORE
