With the end of clock-frequency scaling, parallelism has emerged as the key driver of chip-performance growth. Yet, several factors undermine efficient simultaneous use of onchip ...
Moore’s Law is pushing us inevitably towards a world of pervasive, wireless, spontaneously networked computing devices. Whatever these devices do, they will have to talk to and n...
Embedded software continues to play an ever increasing role in the design of complex embedded applications. In part, the elevel of abstraction provided by a high-level programming...
We introduce Hybrid Sequence Charts (HySCs) as a visual description technique for communication in hybrid system models. To that end, we adapt a subset of the well-known MSC synta...
A modification of the standard Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm is presented for finding the global minimum of a continuous multidimensional, multimodal function. We report resu...
