ABSTRACT -- SPEC-VALUE, a rigorous scenario-driven approach for the description and validation of complex system functionalities at the early stages of design, is presented. It is ...
To improve performance and reduce power, processor designers employ advances that shrink feature sizes, lower voltage levels, reduce noise margins, and increase clock rates. Howev...

In recent years, the increasing interest in fuzzy rough set theory has allowed the definition of novel accurate methods for feature selection. Although their stand-alone applicati...
Application-specific instructions can significantly improve the performance, energy, and code size of configurable processors. A common approach used in the design of such instruc...
