Future networked appliances should be able to download new services or upgrades from the network and execute them locally. This flexibility is typically achieved by processors tha...
Spurred by technology leading to the availability of millions of gates per chip, system-level integration is evolving as a new paradigm, allowing entire systems to be built on a s...
Abstract— Third party developed software add-ins enhance the functionality of a large variety of base software such as operating systems, word processors, spread sheets, graphics...
Cryptographic algorithms are more efficiently implemented in custom hardware than in software running on general-purpose processors. However, systems which use hardware implementat...
Distributed systems are hard to build, profile, debug, and test. Monitoring a distributed system – to detect and analyze bugs, test for regressions, identify fault-tolerance pr...
