We explore how fixed-point operators can be designed to interact and be composed to form autonomic control mechanisms. We depart from the idea that an operator is idempotent only ...
Modularity is a desirable property of complex software systems, since it simplifies code reuse, verification, maintenance, etc. However, the use of loosely coupled modules intro...
The paper proposes a new concept of diagnosing faulty links in Network-on-a-Chip (NoC) designs. The method is based on functional fault models and it implements packet address dri...
This paper presents Contory, a middleware specifically deployed to support provisioning of context information on mobile devices such as smart phones. Contory integrates multiple...
— We describe an analog VLSI circuit implementing spike-driven synaptic plasticity, embedded in a network of integrate-and-fire neurons. This biologically inspired synapse is hi...
