Hybrid architectures, which are composed of a conventional processor closely coupled with reconfigurable logic, seem to combine the advantages of both types of hardware. They pres...
Hardware simulation of channel codes offers the potential of improving code evaluation speed by orders of magnitude over workstation- or PC-based simulation. We describe a hardwar...

Although domain-specialized FPGAs can offer significant area, speed and power improvements over conventional reconfigurable devices, there are several unique and unexplored design...
FPGAs have appealing features such as customizable internal and external bandwidth and the ability to exploit vast amounts of fine-grain parallelism. In this paper we explore the ...
This paper introduces a design tool and its associated procedures for determining the sensitivity of outputs in a digital signal processing design to small errors introduced by ro...
System families are a form of high level reuse of development assets in a specific problem domain, by making use of commonalities and variabilities. To represent assets belonging ...
Autonomic Computing is emerging as a significant new approach to the design of computing systems. Its goal is the development of systems that are selfconfiguring, self-healing, se...
“The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a graphical language for visualizing, specifying, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of a softwareintensive system” [1]. This ...
Agile Software practices place great emphasis on coding, yet coding is time-consuming, difficult, and the source of many errors. The paper describes a way in which the specificati...
