Abstract. We discuss problems of signal– and symbol based representations in terms of three dilemmas which are faced in the design of each vision system. Signal- and symbol-based...
This paper provides a background and rationale for some of the architecture and design decisions in the Cell processor, a processor optimized for compute-intensive and broadband r...
Abstract. We seek to distinguish Strategic design decisions (e.g., to adopt a programming paradigm, architectural style, CBSE standard or application framework) from tactical desig...
The process of verifying a new microprocessor is a major problem for the computer industry. Currently, architects design processors to be fast, power-efficient, and reliable. Howe...
Capturing and using design rationale is becoming a hot topic for software architects, as architectural design decisions are now considered first class entities that should be reco...
Abstract. In peer-to-peer based live streaming systems, a great number of participants have to cooperate to efficiently and reliably distribute a continuous flow of data. Each rec...

The explicit documentation of the rationale of design decisions is a practice generally encouraged but rarely implemented in industry because of a variety of inhibitors. Known met...
