Abstract This paper contributes to the design of intelligent buildings. A MultiAgents Home Automation System (MAHAS) is proposed which controls appliances and energy sources in bui...
—Energy-efficient design of battery-powered systems demands optimizations in both hardware and software. We present a modular approach for enhancing instruction level simulators ...
Embedded systems often have severe power and energy constraints. Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) is a mechanism by which energy consumption may be reduced. In this paper, we impleme...
Scalability is a crucial factor in performance evaluation and analysis of parallel and distributed systems. Much effort has been devoted to scalability research and several metric...
