Software architecture, as a vehicle for communication and reasoning about software systems and their quality, is becoming an area of focus in both the forward- and reverseengineer...
In distributed and mobile systems with volatile bandwidth and fragile connectivity, non-functional aspects like performance and reliability become more and more important. To forma...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are typically characterized by a limited energy supply at sensor nodes. Hence, energy efficiency is an important issue in the system design and op...
Most modern Chip Multiprocessors (CMP) feature shared cache on chip. For multithreaded applications, the sharing reduces communication latency among co-running threads, but also r...
As chip complexity grows, design productivity boost is expected from reuse of large parts and blocks of previous designs with the design effort largely invested into the new parts...
