Clock distribution network techniques
Clock distribution networks are essential to synchronous systems. The design of these networks affects the system performance dramatically and sometimes determines whether the chip can function properly or not. This thesis first describes in detail how a synchronous system works. Based on the …

Digital space/physical place: Systems for community growth
This thesis investigates how synchronous systems of digital space and physical place can play a role in developing community through access to information technology and the formation of networks. It looks at how a community technology network can develop through a synthesis of the community …

An analysis of student collaboration and task completion through project based learning in a web-supported undergraduate course
… type of system used for online communications (asynchronous and synchronous) is an important factor in task appropriateness. The findings of this study also revealed that high and low achieving groups differ in frequency and temporal aspects of their online interactions. Students also …

Implementing Mediators with Cheap Talk
… rational agents. We begin by showing that all asynchronous interactions between $n$ players and a mediator can be $t$-bisimulated without the mediator if $n > 4t$. Intuitively, $t$-bisimulation means that for any deviation performed by an adversary controlling at most $t$ players in the scenario …

Design and Analysis of an Adaptive Asynchronous System Architecture for Energy Efficiency
… of DVS and parallelism in traditional, clocked synchronous systems is limited because of the strict timing requirements such systems must comply with. Delay-insensitive (DI) asynchronous systems have the potential to benefit more from these techniques due to their flexible timing requirements …

Theory of composable latency-insensitive refinements
Simulation of a synchronous system on a hardware platform, for example an FPGA, can be performed using a hardware prototype of the system. But the prototype may not meet the resource and timing constraints of that platform. One way to meet the constraints is to partition the prototype …

The Space Complexity of Distributed Tasks in the Shared Memory Model
… registers in distributed synchronous systems with n processes. Previously, Giakkoupis and Woelfel as well as Styer and Peterson showed that at least Omega(log n) registers are required to implement one-shot test-and-set objects. First, I show a deterministic …

Collaborative Scheduling and Synchronization of Distributable Real-Time Threads
… and correctness of the algorithms in partially synchronous systems. We implement distributable real-time threads in the Linux kernel as a first-class programming and scheduling abstraction. The resulting kernel, called ChronOS, provides application interfaces for creating and manipulating …

Investigation of factors driving the costs of operating the 2020 Irish power system with large-scale wind generation
… to issues resulting from wind energy being a non-synchronous, unpredictable and variable source of energy use on a scale never seen before for a single synchronous system. If changes are not made to traditional operational practices, the efficient running of the electricity system will be directly …

Formal Model Driven Software Synthesis for Embedded Systems
… are said to be 'correct-by-construction'. Synchronous programming languages such as Esterel, LUSTRE, which are based on a synchronous model of computation are used for sequential code generation. They work on a synchrony assumption (zero time intraprocess computation and zero time inter …
