Care-O-bot® 3 - vision of a robot butler
No full textS.97-116This chapter promotes the idea of a robot butler and investigates the advantages and disadvantages of embodiment for the proposed scenario ,,Tina and her butler". In order to make the discussion more tangible, Care-O-bot® 3 is introduced, which is the newest version of the Care-O-bot® series developed by the Fraunhofer IPA in Stuttgart, Germany. Remarkably, the prominent role of this robot was chosen to be a butler's. A brief overview is given of current human-robot interaction research, focusing on how users react to the idea of a robot companion. The results of different user studies provided inspiration during the design phase of Care-O-bot® 3, in particular with respect to the robot's appearance and the user interaction concept. The technological aspects are covered shortly before user interaction scenarios embedded in research projects related with Care-O-bot® 3 are presented. Results from real life trials conducted in an elderly care facility are given afterwards. Against the background of these scenarios, the benefits and drawbacks of embodiment for the virtual butler scenario are discussed using the example of Care-O-bot® 3

Entering the Artworld: The Authenticity of the Artworks of James Gatz, Evelyn Thompson, Theo Decker, and Briony Tallis
No full textIn the works The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Shape of Things by Neil LaBute, The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, and Atonement by Ian McEwan, artworks present themselves in a variety of means not bound by the assumption of merely being paint on canvas. However, just as art in museums must be scrutinized and critiqued in order to confirm its authenticity as art, so too must these creations within literature. The artworks of the novels come under investigation not only by the characters within the text, but also by the readers of the text. Ultimately, the authenticity of the artwork can only be achieved when the viewers and readers of the piece discern that the art is valid and provide it with the distinguishing essence separating it from a mere object. This argument for the authenticity of art within these texts can be supported by the blending of the two theories The Artworld by Arthur Danto, and The Death of the Author by Roland Barthes. Through the application of these theories, both Jimmy Gatz and Evelyn are unable to create authentic works of art. Even The Goldfinch, an already validated work, is unable to authentically exist as so once Theo discovers the wrapped package he carried was nothing more than a civics book. Ultimately, the only true work of art within these works of literature is that of Briony Tallis as her stories become valid creations through the belief and authentication via her family, law enforcement, and readers - both within and outside of McEwan\u27s text
Synchronization Overhead in SOC Compressed Test
No full textTest data compression is an enabling technology for low-cost test. Compression schemes however, require communication between the system under test and the automated test equipment. This communication, referred to in this paper as synchronization overhead, may hinder the effective deployment of this new test technology for core-based systems-on-a-chip. This paper analyzes the sources of synchronization overhead and discusses the different trade-offs, such as area overhead, test time and automatic test equipment extensions. A novel scalable and programmable on-chip distribution architecture is proposed, which addresses the synchronization overhead problem and facilitates the use of low cost testers for manufacturing test. The design of the proposed architecture is introduced in a generic framework, and the implementation issues (including the test controller and test set preparation) have been considered for a particular case

The Use of Formal Methods in the Analysis of Trust (Position Paper)
No full textSecurity and trust are two properties of modern computing systems that are the focus of much recent interest. They play an increasingly significant role in the requirements for modern computing systems. Security has been studied thoroughly for many years, particularly the sub-domain of cryptography. The use of computing science formal methods has facilitated cryptanalysis of security protocols. At the moment, trust is intensively studied, but not well understood. Here we present our approach based on formal methods for modelling and validating the notion of trust in computing science
Corporate and Public Real Estate managament
No full textIn this book chapter Theo van der Voordt and Monique Arkesteijn discuss the difference between corporate and public real estate management i.e. the perspective of the end users, and real estate management i.e. the perspective of investors and developers. Furthermore an overview is presented of the legacy of the (C)REM section of the Department of Management in the Built Environment of the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. The chapter discusses various research themes and introduces key topics such as how to create the best possible fit between supply and demand, adding value through corporate and public real estate, managing of university campuses, workplace management, adaptive reuse as a means to cope with (structural) vacancy, preference modeling and willingness-to-pay, and Corporations & Cities. These topics have been elaborated in other chapters of “Dear is Durable”, a Liber Amicorum for prof. Hans de Jonge that was offered to him due to his farewell as professor of Real Estate Management and Development A pdf of this book can be downloaded from the TU Delft research repository: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:02789dc2-eb6f-41a7-9d64-21212c2a3da8 .Real Estate Managemen
