Abstract--Pervasive computing applications involve both software concerns, like any software system, and integration concerns, for the constituent networked devices of the pervasiv...
—In this paper we propose a virtualization layer to handle the program execution on reconfigurable computers in order to address one of their biggest problems which is the manage...
Mobility is redefining the hardware and software fabric of distributed systems. Wireless communication allows network hosts to participate in a distributed computation while on t...
Modern applications for mobile devices, such as multimedia video/audio, often exhibit a common behavior: they process streams of incoming data in a regular, predictable way. The r...
The combination of flit-buffer flow control methods and latency-insensitive protocols is an effective solution for networks-on-chip (NoC). Since they both rely on backpressure...
