Cette thèse se situe dans le domaine des Systèmes Commandés en Réseaux, systèmes pluridisciplinairesqui connaissent un grand développement dans le contexte technologique actuel etqui introduisent de nouveaux problèmes de recherche, en particulier, pour les communautés Automatiqueet Réseau de Communication. L’objectif est de montrer l’intérêt de considérer un lienbidirectionnel entre la Qualité de Contrôle (QdC) (stabilité et performance des applications decontrôle-commande) et la Qualité de Service (QdS) (retards dans les transmissions) en se focalisantsur les réseaux locaux et plus particulièrement sur l’ordonnancement des trames dans la souscouche MAC où on considère des protocoles MAC de type CSMA.Notre travail se situe tout d’abord dans le cadre du réseau CAN où nous faisons trois propositions.La première proposition consiste en des solutions de QdS pour des applications decontrôle-commande sur la base du concept de priorité hybride, pour l’ordonnancement de trames,dans laquelle nous définissons une partie priorité dynamique qui dépend d’un paramètre de QdC.Ceci permet de réaliser une relation QdC→QdS. La deuxième proposition consiste en des solutionsde QdC par une méthode de compensation de retard (maintenance des pôles dominants)ce qui permet de réaliser une relation QdS→QdC. La troisième proposition consiste à réaliserune relation QdC⇋QdS qui assure lors de l’implantation de plusieurs applications, une propriétéd’équité comportementale. Nous abordons ensuite le cadre particulier des réseaux locaux sans filoù, d’une part, nous définissons des protocoles MAC de type CSMA sans collision sur la basede priorités et, d’autre part, nous montrons la faisabilité des idées développées dans le cadre duréseau CAN / This thesis is in the field of Networked Controlled Systems, which are multidisciplinary systemsand which experience a great development in the context of the current technology andintroduce new research problems, particularly for the communities of Automatic Control andCommunication Network. The aim is to show the interest in considering a bidirectional link betweenthe Quality of Control (QoC) (stability and performance of process control applications) andQuality of Service (QoS) (delays in the transmissions) and to focus on Local Area Networks and,more particularly, on the scheduling of frames in the MAC layer in which we consider CSMAMAC protocols.Our work first concerns a CAN network where we have three proposals. The first proposalconsists of solutions for QoS, for process control applications, which are based on the conceptof hybrid priority for the frame scheduling in which we define a dynamic priority part which dependson a QoC parameter. This allows to implement a relation QoC→QoS. The second proposalconsists of QoC solutions by using a compensation method for time delays (maintenance of dominantpoles) which allows to implement a relation QoS→QoC. The third proposal consists inimplementing a relation QoS⇋QoC that ensures, for the implementation of several applications,a fairness property. We then discuss the specific context of Wireless LANs, where, on the onehand, we define collision-free CSMA MAC protocols on the basis of priorities and, on the otherhand, we show the feasibility of the ideas developed in the CAN network

Tesis por compendio / [ES] Los servicios climáticos son productos que resultan de la combinación de datos climáticos y otra información pertinente y que resultan útiles para la toma decisiones para la adaptación o mitigación del cambio climático. Idealmente, este tipo de servicios funcionan como puente entre los puros datos climáticos y los usuarios finales, de modo que la ciencia queda traducida en productos o servicios útiles y comprensibles. Con frecuencia, los servicios climáticos han sido desarrollados por expertos en datos climáticos sin tener en cuenta las necesidades específicas de los usuarios finales. Este enfoque «top-down» con frecuencia significa que no se utiliza la información más relevante para su creación y que se descuida la perspectiva del usuario final durante el proceso de diseño. La desconexión existente entre los potenciales usuarios de servicios climáticos y los propios productos ha conducido a una falta de aceptación y utilización de los servicios climáticos, incluso entre aquellos usuarios más vulnerables a los efectos del cambio climático. La co-creación de servicios climáticos junto a los usuarios que van a utilizarlos puede ayudar a solucionar muchos de los retos descritos anteriormente. Al implicar a los usuarios en el diseño y desarrollo de los servicios, es más sencillo que éstos sean pertinentes, se adapten a sus necesidades y sean fáciles de usar. Esto puede ayudar a aumentar la concienciación y la comprensión de las posibles repercusiones del cambio climático, así como a generar confianza en los servicios que se prestan. Además, la co-creación de estos servicios puede ayudar a desarrollar modelos de negocio más sostenibles para los servicios climáticos basados en el beneficio mutuo y la propiedad compartida. Esto puede contribuir a que los servicios sean sostenibles y puedan seguir prestándose a largo plazo. La co-creación puede, en definitiva, ayudar a que los servicios se consideren relevantes y valiosos para los usuarios, y que éstos estén dispuestos a invertir el tiempo y los recursos necesarios para utilizarlos de forma sostenida a lo largo del tiempo. El objetivo de esta tesis es contribuir al desarrollo de servicios climáticos eficaces y orientados al usuario para la adaptación al cambio climático, centrándose en el sector del agua. Al promover la creación conjunta de servicios climáticos, se pretende garantizar que las estrategias de adaptación se adapten a las necesidades específicas de los distintos usuarios de los servicios climáticos, y crear resiliencia y capacidad en las organizaciones y comunidades. El caso de estudio consiste en la co-creación de un servicio climático para la evaluación de los impactos del cambio climático en el sistema de abastecimiento de agua a Valencia y su área metropolitana. El servicio climático se creó juntamente con la empresa local de suministro de agua de Valencia (EMIVASA), en el contexto del proyecto INNOVA. Para realizar este análisis, se desarrolló un modelo de dinámica de sistemas de la cuenca del Júcar, capaz de representar las complejas interrelaciones del sistema a lo largo del tiempo, y se combinó con un modelo de calidad de aguas del embalse de Tous para realizar el análisis sobre la calidad del recurso futuro disponible. Este trabajo demuestra el valor de involucrar a los usuarios finales en la co-creación de servicios climáticos para garantizar su relevancia, utilidad y aceptación. Lo hace mediante la aplicación de esta metodología a la cuenca del Júcar y al problema del abastecimiento a la ciudad de Valencia en escenarios futuro de cambio climático. Esta aplicación permite extraer conclusiones sobre las formas de co-crear este tipo de productos y las mejores formas de abordar la co-creación de servicios climáticos en sectores clave. / [CA] Els serveis climàtics són productes que resulten de la combinació de dades climàtiques i altra informació pertinent i que resulten útils per a la presa decisions per a l'adaptació o mitigació del canvi climàtic. Idealment, aquest tipus de serveis funcionen com a pont entre les pures dades climàtiques i els usuaris finals, de manera que la ciència queda traduïda en productes o serveis útils i comprensibles. Amb freqüència, els serveis climàtics han sigut desenvolupats per experts en dades climàtiques sense tindre en compte les necessitats específiques dels usuaris finals. Aquest enfocament «top-down» amb freqüència significa que no s'utilitza la informació més rellevant per a la seua creació i que es descura la perspectiva de l'usuari final durant el procés de disseny. La desconnexió existent entre els potencials usuaris de serveis climàtics i els propis productes ha desembocat a una falta d'acceptació i utilització dels serveis climàtics, fins i tot entre aquells usuaris més vulnerables a l'efecte del canvi climàtic. La co-creació de serveis climàtics amb els usuaris finals pot ajudar a solucionar molts dels reptes descrits anteriorment. En implicar els usuaris en el disseny i desenvolupament dels serveis, és més senzill que aquests siguen pertinents, s'adapten a les seues necessitats i siguen fàcils d'usar. Això pot ajudar a augmentar la conscienciació i la comprensió de les possibles repercussions del canvi climàtic, així com a generar confiança en els serveis que es presten. A més, la co-creació d'aquests serveis pot ajudar a desenvolupar models de negoci més sostenibles per als serveis climàtics: en implicar els usuaris en el desenvolupament i el finançament dels serveis, és possible crear models de negoci basats en el benefici mutu i la propietat compartida. Això pot contribuir al fet que els serveis siguen sostenibles i puguen continuar prestant-se a llarg termini. La co-creació pot, en definitiva, ajudar al fet que els serveis es consideren rellevants i valuosos per als usuaris, i que aquests estiguen disposats a invertir el temps i els recursos necessaris per a utilitzar-los de forma sostinguda al llarg del temps. L'objectiu d'aquesta tesi és contribuir al desenvolupament de serveis climàtics eficaços i orientats a l'usuari per a l'adaptació al canvi climàtic, centrant-se en el sector de l'aigua. En promoure la creació conjunta de serveis climàtics, es pretén garantir que les estratègies d'adaptació s'adapten a les necessitats específiques dels diferents usuaris dels serveis climàtics, i crear resiliència i capacitat en les organitzacions i comunitats. El cas d'estudi consisteix en la co-creació d'un servei climàtic per a l'avaluació dels impactes del canvi climàtic en el sistema de proveïment d'aigua a València i la seua àrea metropolitana. El servei climàtic es va crear juntament amb l'empresa local de subministrament d'aigua de València (EMIVASA), en el context del projecte INNOVA. Per a realitzar aquesta anàlisi, es va desenvolupar un model de dinàmica de sistemes de la conca del Xúquer, adequat per representar les complexes interrelacions del sistema al llarg del temps, i es va combinar amb un model de qualitat d'aigües de l'embassament de Tous per a realitzar l'anàlisi sobre la qualitat del recurs futur disponible. Aquest treball demostra el valor d'involucrar als usuaris finals en la co-creació de serveis climàtics per a garantir la seua rellevància, utilitat i acceptació. Ho fa mitjançant l'aplicació d'aquesta metodologia a la conca del Xúquer i al problema del proveïment a la ciutat de València en escenaris futurs de canvi climàtic. Aquesta aplicació permet extraure conclusions sobre les formes de co-crear aquest tipus de productes i les millors formes d'abordar la co-creació de serveis climàtics en sectors clau. / [EN] Climate services result from combining climate data and other relevant information and are valuable for climate change adaptation or mitigation decision-making. Ideally, such services function as a bridge between pure climate data and end-users so that the science is translated into useful and understandable products or services. Climate services for adaptation can be developed at individual, local and regional scales and help communities and individuals prepare for and cope with the effects of climate change. Climate services have often been developed by climate data experts without considering the specific needs of end-users. This top-down approach often means that the most relevant information is not used in their creation and the end-user perspective is neglected during the design process. The disconnect between potential users of climate services and the products themselves has led to a lack of uptake and use of climate services, even among those users most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Co-creation of climate services with the users who will use them can help to address many of the challenges described above. By involving users in the design and development of services, it is easier to make them relevant, tailored to their needs and easy to use. This can help raise awareness and understanding of the potential impacts of climate change and build trust in the services provided. In addition, co-creating these services can help develop more sustainable business models for climate services: by involving users in developing and financing services, business models based on mutual benefit and shared ownership can be created. This can contribute to making services sustainable and able to continue to be provided in the long term. Co-creation can ultimately help to ensure that services are seen as relevant and valuable to users, and that users are willing to invest the time and resources to use them on a sustained basis over time. This thesis aims to contribute to developing effective, user-driven climate services for climate change adaptation, with a focus on the water sector. Promoting the co-creation of climate services aims to ensure that adaptation strategies are tailored to the specific needs of different users of climate services, and to build resilience and capacity in organisations and communities. The case study consists of co-creating a climate service to assess climate change impacts on the water supply system of Valencia and its metropolitan area. The climate service was created jointly with the local water supply company of Valencia (EMIVASA), in the context of the INNOVA project. To carry out this analysis, a system dynamics model of the Júcar basin, capable of representing the complex interrelationships of the system over time, was developed and combined with a water quality model of the Tous reservoir to perform the analysis on the quality of the future resource available. This work demonstrates the value of involving end-users in co-creating climate services to ensure their relevance, utility and acceptability. It does so by applying this methodology to the Júcar river basin and to the problem of supplying the city of Valencia in future climate change scenarios. This application allows conclusions to be drawn on ways to co-create this type of product and the best ways to address the co-creation of climate services in critical sectors, such as the drinking water supply. / This research was supported by the INNOVA, ADAPTAMED, SÀPIDES and WATER4CAST projects.

The Convolutional Neural Networks are getting more and more popular due to their applications in revolutionary technologies like Autonomous Driving, Biomedical Imaging, and Natural Language Processing. With this increase in adoption, the complexity of underlying algorithms is also increasing. This trend entails implications for the computation platforms as well, i.e. GPUs, FPGA, or ASIC based accelerators, especially for the Address Generation Unit (AGU), which is responsible for the memory access. Existing accelerators typically have Parametrizable Datapath AGUs, which have minimal adaptability towards evolution in algorithms. Hence new hardware is required for new algorithms, which is a very inefficient approach in terms of time, resources, and reusability. In this research, six algorithms with different implications for hardware are evaluated for address generation, and a fully Programmable AGU (PAGU) is presented, which can adapt to these algorithms. These algorithms are Standard, Strided, Dilated, Upsampled and Padded convolution, and MaxPooling. The proposed AGU architecture is a Very Long Instruction Word based Application Specific Instruction Processor which has specialized components like hardware counters and zero-overhead loops and a powerful Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), which can model static and dynamic constraints and affine and non-affine Address Equations. The target has been to minimize the flexibility vs. area, power, and performance trade-off. For a working test network of Semantic Segmentation, results have shown that PAGU shows close to the ideal performance, one cycle per address, for all the algorithms under consideration excepts Upsampled Convolution for which it is 1.7 cycles per address. The area of PAGU is approx. 4.6 times larger than the Parametrizable Datapath approach, which is still reasonable considering the high flexibility benefits. The potential of PAGU is not just limited to neural network applications but also in more general digital signal processing areas, which can be explored in the future. / Convolutional Neural Networks blir mer och mer populära på grund av deras applikationer inom revolutionerande tekniker som autonom körning, biomedicinsk bildbehandling och naturligt språkbearbetning. Med denna ökning av antagandet ökar också komplexiteten hos underliggande algoritmer. Detta medför implikationer för beräkningsplattformarna såväl som GPU: er, FPGAeller ASIC-baserade acceleratorer, särskilt för Adressgenerationsenheten (AGU) som är ansvarig för minnesåtkomst. Befintliga acceleratorer har normalt Parametrizable Datapath AGU: er som har mycket begränsad anpassningsförmåga till utveckling i algoritmer. Därför krävs ny hårdvara för nya algoritmer, vilket är en mycket ineffektiv metod när det gäller tid, resurser och återanvändbarhet. I denna forskning utvärderas sex algoritmer med olika implikationer för hårdvara för adressgenerering och en helt programmerbar AGU (PAGU) presenteras som kan anpassa sig till dessa algoritmer. Dessa algoritmer är Standard, Strided, Dilated, Upsampled och Padded convolution och MaxPooling. Den föreslagna AGU-arkitekturen är en Very Long Instruction Word-baserad applikationsspecifik instruktionsprocessor som har specialiserade komponenter som hårdvara räknare och noll-overhead-slingor och en kraftfull Instruktionsuppsättning Arkitektur (ISA) som kan modellera statiska och dynamiska begränsningar och affinera och icke-affinerad adress ekvationer. Målet har varit att minimera flexibiliteten kontra avvägning av område, kraft och prestanda. För ett fungerande testnätverk av semantisk segmentering har resultaten visat att PAGU visar nära den perfekta prestanda, 1 cykel per adress, för alla algoritmer som beaktas undantar Upsampled Convolution för vilken det är 1,7 cykler per adress. Området för PAGU är ungefär 4,6 gånger större än Parametrizable Datapath-metoden, vilket fortfarande är rimligt med tanke på de stora flexibilitetsfördelarna. Potentialen för PAGU är inte bara begränsad till neurala nätverksapplikationer utan också i mer allmänna digitala signalbehandlingsområden som kan utforskas i framtiden.

This study attempts to gain an understanding of the responsibilities and place of the designer within his/her social, political and environmental context, a topic which is continuously being scrutinised. Graphic designers, as practitioners and researchers, have shifted towards principles found within Human-Centred Design (HCD) and problem-solving processes, primarily concerned with the community’s need and the voice of the community members within the problem and thus integrating the user into the design practice and problem-solving process. This practice-based research project reflects upon the integration of human-centred graphic design processes, analysing the brand and wayfinding design currently incorporated in the Sasolburg Public Library (SPL) through the implementation of HCD thinking and problem-solving processes, Participatory Action Research (PAR) and the HCD IDEO toolkit. The researcher critically and experientially questions and reflects upon HCD thinking: its problem-solving strategies, strengths and the ultimate result of its integration into the project, as she aimed to codesign a functional brand identity and way-finding system that resonates with the identified community need as well as the SPL’s current space and place ‘description’, essentially attempting to create a public library that is human-centred at heart. The integrated co-designed problem-solving processes, guided by the HCD IDEO toolkit, were applied within a focus group setting, and comprised out of seven focus group sessions referred to as HCD team meetings. The focus group sessions consisted out of six HCD team meeting and one member checking contact session, supported by various research phases. The team meetings all considered theoretical constructs within multiple HCD research approaches, including the HCD analysis model, PAR research cycles and the action research model, constantly re-considering existing assumptions and structures within the unique context of a public library setting, but specifically the SPL. Each focus group team meeting, and its subsequent research tools, were tailor-made for the SPL context, considering principles of the co-design process along with the expertise and perceived knowledge structures of the HCD team consisting of the designer (as specialist within practice), the researcher (as specialist academic) and the librarians (as specialists within the SPL and the identified problem). Arising from this complex construction of tools, and subsequent data collected, various findings were made identifying the value and strengths as well as the feasibility of HCD thinking processes and their integration within a ‘real life context’. Summarised findings include: the implementation of co-design processes, PAR repetitive cycles, and the creation of design deliverables answering to identified needs; tensions identified within the co-design process, sparking the beginning of what seems to be a continuous and endless ‘power/authority/expertise struggle’ throughout the problem-solving process; an aesthetic adjustment (with specific reference to graphic design executions identified within traditional design practices) as a result of the co-design process and lastly, a break in HCD co-design thinking, which argues for implementing democratic thinking practice and processes within the production and design application process. Considering the findings on the HCD research process within the context of this research, suggestions towards possible design solutions and future potential applications (within a theoretical context) are made, allowing the research in its specific, public library context, to contribute to HCD theoretical thinking processes and their integration within graphic design research and practice.

<p dir="ltr">Autonomous robots can perform dangerous and tedious tasks, eliminating the need for human involvement. To deploy an autonomous robot in the field, a typical planning and control hierarchy is used, consisting of a high-level planner, a mid-level motion planner, and a low-level tracking controller. In applications such as simultaneous localization and mapping, package delivery, logistics, and surveillance, a group of autonomous robots can be more efficient and resilient than a single robot. However, deploying a multi-robot team by directly aggregating each robot's planning hierarchy into a larger, centralized hierarchy faces challenges related to scalability, resilience, and real-time computation. Distributed algorithms offer a promising solution for introducing effective coordination within a network of robots, addressing these issues. This thesis explores the application of distributed algorithms in multi-robot systems, focusing on several essential components required to enable distributed multi-robot coordination, both in general terms and for specific applications.</p>

A pesquisa de caráter qualitativo teve como objetivo levantar e discutir maneiras pelas quais o campo do design pode contribuir para a divulgação científica para o público infantil. A partir de um levantamento de casos de comunicação da ciência para crianças no Brasil e exterior, de naturezas e mídias diversas, foram identificados os processos de design empregados e determinados os eixos investigativos da pesquisa: processos colaborativos, processos participativos, ludicidade e design da informação. Para evidenciar e discutir as questões relativas aos quatro eixos, foi realizado um estudo de caso sobre o livro informativo para crianças Lá fora - Guia para descobrir a natureza (textos de Maria Ana Peixe Dias e Inês Teixeira do Rosário, ilustrações de Bernardo P. Carvalho, editora Planeta Tangerina, Portugal, 2014). O estudo de caso baseou-se em revisão bibliográfica relativa a: processos colaborativos, processos participativos, processos voltados ao lúdico, design da informação, livros ilustrados e livros informativos para crianças. As análises sugerem que as contribuições do campo para a divulgação científica para crianças potencializam-se quanto mais abrangente for o escopo de participação do design e quanto mais inicial for o estágio de projetação em que é introduzido. Além disso, de cada eixo investigativo sobressaem contribuições específicas ligadas às forma de participação do design no processo de produção da divulgação, a saber: o rigor informativo, investigativo e crítico, e a criatividade na abordagem dos temas da ciência (processos colaborativos); a defesa da autonomia, do protagonismo e do respeito às necessidades cognitivas e emocionais da criança (processos participativos); a aproximação poética, aberta, imaginativa e complexa dos assuntos tratados (processos voltados à ludicidade); e o cuidado com a usabilidade dos objetos, a legibilidade e a visualização da informação (design da informação). / This qualitative study aimed to raise and discuss ways in which the design field can contribute to science communication for children. Specific applied design processes and certain investigative axes of research were identified from a survey of cases of science communication for children in Brazil and abroad, of different natures and media: collaborative processes, participatory processes, playfulness and information design. In order to highlight and discuss questions relating to these four axes, we conducted a case study of the children\'s information book Lá fora - Guia para descobrir a natureza (texts by Maria Ana Peixe Dias and Inês Teixeira do Rosário, illustrations by Bernardo P. Carvalho, Planeta Tangerina, Portugal, 2014). The case study is based on literature review on: collaborative processes, participatory processes, processes aimed at playfulness, information design, picturebooks and children\'s information books. The analysis suggests that the design field contribution to science communication for children can be enhanced the more comprehensive its scope is and the earlier it is introduced in the design process. In addition, each investigative axis highlights specific contributions, linked to the form of participation that design takes on the production process of the publication, namely: the informative, investigative and critical accuracy, and the creativity in addressing the themes of science (collaborative processes); the defense of autonomy, leadership and respect to cognitive and emotional needs of the child (participatory processes); the poetic, open, imaginative and complex approach of subjects addressed (processes aimed at playfulness); the attention to the usability and readability of objects, and its information visualization (information design).
