A new class of embedded devices is emerging that has a mixture of traditional firmware (written in C/C++) with an embedded virtual machine (e.g., Java). For these devices, the main...
In application server systems, such as J2EE, replication is an essential strategy for reliability and efficiency. Many J2EE implementations, both commercial and open-source, provid...
Designing custom-extensible instructions for Extensible Processors1 is a computationally complex task because of the large design space. The task of automatically matching candida...
Hidden Markov models have become the preferred technique for visual recognition of human gestures. However, the recognition rate depends on the set of visual features used, and al...
Reconfigurable System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms that incorporate hard-core processors surrounded by large amounts of FPGA are today commodities: the reconfigurable logic is often us...
