  1. Service robots for personal use in the home and the workplace require end-user development solutions for swiftly scripting robot tasks as the need arises. Many existing solutions preserve ease, efficiency, and convenience through simple programming interfaces or by restricting task complexity. Others facilitate meticulous task design but often do so at the expense of simplicity and efficiency. There is a need for robot programming solutions that reconcile the complexity of robotics with the on-the-fly goals of end-user development. In response to this need, we present a novel, multimodal, and on-the-fly development system, Tabula. Inspired by a formative design study with a prototype, Tabula leverages a combination of spoken language for specifying the core of a robot task and sketching for contextualizing the core. The result is that developers can script partial, sloppy versions of robot programs to be completed and refined by a program synthesizer. Lastly, we demonstrate our anticipated use cases of Tabula via a set of application scenarios.

  3. Valiant routing, the use of a random intermediate node to distribute network traffic, has been proposed for a number of recent HPC network topologies. It is also commonly used as a bulding block for adaptive routing algorithms, which use shortest path routes when possible, but revert to Valiant routing when necessary to avoid hot spots. We show that the version of Valiant routing proposed for the Slim fly topology can cause messages to follow loops, using an edge in both directions before returning to edges of the original shortest path. Removing these loops in the UGAL-L adaptive routing algorithm is shown to provide slight improvements in average latency and also allow the network to carry up to 12% more traffic before saturation.
