When designing computer systems, simulation tools are used to imitate a real or proposed system. Complex, dynamic systems can be simulated without the cost and time constraints in...
In the multimedia field, metadata are becoming increasingly important for efficiently cataloguing the abundant flood of information. (Metadata are data on information structure...
The WWW makes learning materials widely accessible and provides an environment where people can learn across time and space. However, the simple read-only information structure on...
An important aspect in the design of hardware/software systems is design-for-test. Improving the testability of a hardware/software system typically implies improving the controll...
Many DSP and image processing embedded systems have hard memory constraints which makes it difficult to find a good task assignment and scheduling which fulfill these constrain...
The embryonics project proposes a family of cellular architectures with reconfiguration properties inspired by the ontogenesis of multicellular organisms. This paper proposes relia...

We propose a design flow for low-power and low-cost, data-dominated, embedded systems which tightly integrate different technologies and architectures. We use Mathworks’ Simuli...
The Automated Production Systems (APS) are composed of concurrent interacting entities. Then any model should exhibit parallel and sequential behaviours. The Grafcet is now well e...
This paper suggests a novel image compression scheme, using the discrete wavelet transformation (DWT) and the fuzzy c-means clustering technique. The goal is to achieve higher com...
