Enabling Highly Scalable Remote Memory Access Programming with MPI-3 One Sided
In this work, we design and develop bufferless protocols that demonstrate how to implement the MPI-3 RMA interface and support scaling to millions of cores.

Fundamental Concepts of Reactive Control for Autonomous Drones
We conceive a notion of reactive control that allows drones to execute the low-level control logic only upon recognizing the need to, based on the influence of the environment onto the drone operation.

Technical Perspective: A Control Theorist's View on Reactive Control for Autonomous Drones
"Fundamental Concepts of Reactive Control for Autonomous Drones" introduces the notion of "reactive control" in which an autopilot's control logic is run only intermittently based on whether readings from sensors indicate a need…
