During last years, the Time-Triggered Architecture (TTA) has been gaining acceptance as a generic architecture for highly dependable real-time systems. It is now being used to imp...
In this paper we analyse some methodological concerns that have to be faced in a design flow which contains automatic synthesis phases from high-level, system descriptions. In par...
Channel coding is a key element of any digital wireless communication system since it minimizes the effects of noise and interference on the transmitted signal. In thirdgeneration...
This paper presents STEPS, an innovative softwarebased approach for testing P1500-compliant SoCs. STEPS is based on the concept that the ATE is not considered as an initiator appl...
