During the last years, the growing application complexity, design, and mask costs have compelled embedded system designers to increasingly consider partially reconfigurable applica...
Stochastic performance models provide a powerful way of capturing and analysing the behaviour of complex concurrent systems. Traditionally, performance measures for these models ar...
Large systems often have a long life-span and comprise many intricately related elements. The verification and maintenance of these systems require a good understanding of their ...
We describe a method for performance analysis of large software systems that combines a fast instruction-set simulator with off-line detailed analysis of segments of the execution...
Abstract—We consider a cognitive radio network where multiple secondary users (SUs) contend for spectrum usage, using random access, over available primary user (PU) channels. Ou...
