The objective of this research is to develop tools and methods for system-level optimization of embedded software that is executed on system-on-chip platforms. In particular, this...
Design and implementation of motion control applications includes the transition from control design to real-time system implementation. To make this transition smooth, the specif...
When designing a software module or system, a systems engineer must consider and differentiate between how the system responds to external and internal errors. External errors can...
This paper identifies the essential components of a Requirements Engineering (RE) process and provides alternatives to the Requirements Analyst (RA) when deciding on a particular ...
A major setback for mobile agent technology is a lack of interoperability between systems for mobile agents which prevents them from reaching “critical mass”. In this paper, w...
Network security has now become one of the most important aspects in computer systems and the Internet. Apart from strong encryption, there is no definite method of truly securing...

This paper presents a generic software architecture for large-scale distributed applications in which mobile agents are an integral part. We developed this architecture through th...
Resource heterogeneity offers a new challenge to portability of resource critical applications such as multimedia or interactive applications. Under heterogeneous environments, a ...
This paper discusses an approach for top-down composition of software architectures. First, an architecture is derived that addresses functional requirements only. This architectu...
Continuing VLSI technology scaling raises several deep submicron (DSM) problems like relatively slow interconnect, power dissipation and distribution, and signal integrity. Those ...
