877 Brunvand, Erik L. ; Gopalakrishnan, GaneshHigh-level asynchronous system design using the ACK frameworkDesigning asynchronous circuits is becoming easier as a number of design styles are making the transition from research projects to real, usable tools. However, designing asynchronous "systems" is still a difficult problem. We define asynchronous systems to be medium to large digital systems whose...2000
878 Henderson, Thomas C.High-level planning for dextrous manipulationThe development of mechanical end effectors capable of dextrous manipulation is a rapidly growing and quite successful field of research. It has in some sense put the focus on control issues, in particular, how to control these remarkably anthropomorphic manipulators to perform the deft movement tha...Mechanical end effectors; Dextrous manipulation1987
879 Kasera, Sneha K.; Patwari, NealHigh-rate uncorrelated bit extraction for shared secret key generation from channel measurementsSecret keys can be generated and shared between two wireless nodes by measuring and encoding radio channel characteristics without ever revealing the secret key to an eavesdropper at a third location. This paper addresses bit extraction, i.e., the extraction of secret key bits from noisy radio chan...Wireless networks; Multipath fading; Physical layer; Key generation; Secret keys; Bit extraction2010-01
880 Awate, Suyash P.; Whitaker, Ross T.Higher-order image statistics for unsupervised, information-theoretic, adaptive, image filteringThe restoration of images is an important and widely studied problem in computer vision and image processing. Various image filtering strategies have been effective, but invariably make strong assumptions about the properties of the signal and/or degradation. Therefore, these methods typically la...Image filtering; Image restoration2005-04-15
881 Tasdizen, Tolga; Whitaker, Ross T.Higher-order nonlinear priors for surface reconstructionAbstract-For surface reconstruction problems with noisy and incomplete range data, a Bayesian estimation approach can improve the overall quality of the surfaces. The Bayesian approach to surface estimation relies on a likelihood term, which ties the surface estimate to the input data, and the prior...2004

883 Regehr, JohnHLS: a framework for composing soft real-time schedulersHierarchical CPU scheduling has emerged as a way to (1) support applications with diverse scheduling requirements in open systems, and (2) provide load isolation between applications, users, and other resource principals. Most existing work on hierarchical scheduling has focused on systems that prov...2001-01-01
884 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshHOP: A formal model for synchronous circuits using communicating fundamental mode symbolic automataWe study synchronous digital circuits in an abstract setting. A circuit is viewed as a collection of modules connected through their boundary ports, where each port assumes a fixed direction (input or output) over one cycle of operation, and can change directions across cycles. No distinction is ma...HOP1992
885 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshHOP: a process model for synchronous hardware semantics, and experiments in process compositionWe present a language "Hardware viewed as Objects and Processes" (HOP) for specifying the structure, behavior, and timing of hardware systems. HOP embodies a simple process model for lock-step synchronous processes. An absproc specification written in HOP describes the externally observable behavior...HOP; Synchronous hardware semantics1988
886 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshHOP: a process model for synchronous hardware systemsModules in HOP are black-boxes that are understood and used only in terms of their interface. The interface consists of d a t a ports, events, and a protocol specification that uses events and asserts/queries values to / from ports. Events are realized as different combinations of control wires or...HOP; Process models; Synchronous hardware systems1988
887 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshhopCP: A concurrent hardware description languagehopCP is a language for the specification, simulation, and synthesis of hardware systems. hopCP captures the behavior of a hardware system by specifying the causal relationships between actions that the system can perform. No specific timing discipline is implied by a hopCP specification. Hence, hop...hopCP; Hardware systems1991
888 Akella, VenkateshhopCP: language definition, semantics and examplesWe describe a formalism for high level modeling of hardware based on flow graphs and nonatomic actions called hopCP. A module is the description of a hardware system in hopCP, which contains a flow graph to model the behavioral aspects and ports which represent the communication links. Operations ar...hopCP1990
889 Regehr, JohnHow to rapidly prototype a real-time schedulerImplementing a new scheduling algorithm in an OS kernel is often an important step in scheduling research because it permits evaluation of the algorithm's performance on real workloads. However, developing a new scheduler is not a trivial task because it requires sophisticated programming skills and...2002-01-01
890 Gu, JunHow to search for millions of queensThe n-queens problem is a classical combinatorial problem in artificial intelligence (AI) area. Since its simplicity and regular structure, this problem has widely been chosen as a testbed to develop and benchmark new AI search problem-solving strategies in the AI community. Due to its inherent com...Combinatorial problems; n-queens; Search algorithms1988
891 Mathews, V. JohnHowling suppression in hearing aids using least-squares estimation and perceptually motivated gain controlABSTRACT Howling is a significant problem even in digital hearing aids equipped with adaptive feedback cancellation. Among the many causes of howling is the inability of the adaptive filter to track rapid changes in the feedback path. Many systems use howling detectors to detect the start of howlin...2006
