Integrated Predictive Rule-Based Control of a Swiss Office Building
(2013)CLIMA 2013: 11th REHVA World Congress & 8th International Conference on IAQVEC: "Energy efficient, smart and healthy buildings"In the Swiss research project OptiControl (www.opticontrol.ethz.ch), new predictive building control strategies are developed and applied to a fully occupied, well instrumented demonstrator building. The demonstrator building is a typical Swiss office building located in Allschwil close to Basel. The building has 5 levels and a conditioned floor area of ca. 6’000 m2. Heating and cooling are mainly done with the aid of thermally activated ...Conference Paper -
Counting Stream Registers: An Efficient and Effective Snoop Filter Architecture
(2013)Proceedings 2012 International Conference on Embedded Computer Systems (SAMOS)We introduce a counting stream register snoop filter, which improves the performance of existing snoop filters based on stream registers. Over time, this class of snoop filters loses the ability to filter memory addresses that have been loaded, and then evicted, from the caches that are filtered; they include cache wrap detection logic, which resets the filter whenever the contents of the cache have been completely replaced. The counting ...Conference Paper -

Railway line capacity consumption of different railway signalling systems under scheduled and disturbed conditions
(2013)This paper evaluates the capacity consumption on a Dutch railway line both under scheduled and disturbed traffic conditions. For the scheduled condition the standard UIC compression method is used, while the computation of capacity consumption under disturbed conditions requires multiple simulation runs via a Monte Carlo simulation set up. For the analysis we use the optimization-based train dispatching system ROMA that combines the ...Conference Paper -

Unsupervised Identification and Prediction of Foothold Robustness
(2013)2013 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and AutomationThis paper addresses the problem of evaluating and estimating the mechanical robustness of footholds for legged robots in unstructured terrain. In contrast to approaches that rely on human expert knowledge or human defined criteria to identify appropriate footholds, our method uses the robot itself to assess whether a certain foothold is adequate or not. To this end, one of the robot's legs is employed to haptically explore an unknown ...Conference Paper
