This paper shows a method to verifying the thermal status of complex FPGA-based circuits like microprocessors. Thus, the designer can evaluate if a particular block is working bey...
We propose a distributed on-demand power-management protocol for collecting data in sensor networks. The protocol aims to reduce power consumption while supporting fluctuating dem...
