This paper describes SKIMA, a mediation system that gives transparent access to heterogeneous and distributed sources considering their semantics and the semantics of application ...
By adapting to computations that are not so well supported by general-purpose processors, reconfigurable systems achieve significant increases in performance. Such computational sy...
Many DSP and image processing embedded systems have hard memory constraints which makes it difficult to find a good task assignment and scheduling which fulfill these constrain...
Physical design for object-oriented databases is still in its infancy. Implementation decisions often intrude into the conceptual design (such as inverse links and object decompos...
The Hoare approach to program verification relies on the construction and discharge of verification conditions (VCs) but offers no support to trace, analyze, and understand the VCs...
