Abstract Barrier synchronizations can be very expensive on multiprogramming environment because no process can go past a barrier until all the processes have arrived. If a process ...
Embedded systems must interact with their real-time environment in a timely and dependable fashion. Most embeddedsystems architectures and design processes consider “nonfunction...
In this paper we propose a method for inferring invariants for loops in Java programs. An example of a simple while loop is used throughout the paper to explain our approach. The m...
Abstract-This paper deals with enhancing the level of autonomy in a robotic work cell. With that mission in mind, we present here an integrated framework for the sensing, the plann...
Abstract Deciding which computer architecture provides the best performance for a certain program is an important problem in hardware design and benchmarking. While previous approa...
