Networked appliances can simplify our lives, but interacting with them can be difficult in itself. KitchenSense is an early prototype of a networked kitchen full of sensors that u...
There has been a proliferation of block-diagram environments for specifying and prototyping DSP systems. These include tools from academia like Ptolemy [3], and GRAPE [7], and com...
In deep submicron technology, wire delay is no longer negligible and is gradually dominating the system latency. Some state-of-the-art architectural synthesis flows adopt the distr...
— This paper describes a novel, ultra-fast heuristic algorithm to address an NP-hard optimization problem. One of its significances is that, for the first time, the paper shows...
Concurrency in Logic Programming has received much attention in the past. One problem with many proposals, when applied to Prolog, is that they involve large modifications to the...
