In the design of real-time and embedded systems, it is important to establish a bound on the worst-case execution time (WCET) of programs to assure via schedulability analysis tha...

Traditionally, instruction-set simulators (ISS’s) are sequential programs running on individual processors. Besides the advances of simulation techniques, ISS’s have been main...
Many articles and tools have been proposed over the years for mining design patterns from source code. These tools differ in several aspects, thus their fair comparison is hard. B...
