The action systems framework has recently been applied to the area of synchronous VLSI design. In this paper, we present a set of concepts necessary in the formal design of synchr...
With the term flexibility, we introduce a new design dimension of an embedded system that quantitatively characterizes its feasibility in implementing not only one, but possibly ...
In this paper, we present an efficient H.264 / MPEG4 Part 10 Intra Frame Coder System. The system achieves real-time performance for portable applications with low hardware cost, ...
This paper describes the design of two half-rate clock and data recovery circuits for optical receivers. Targeting the data rate of 10-Gb/s, the rst implementation incorporates a ...
The initial step of any software engineering methodology is to form requirements. Recently, a goal-oriented approach to requirements has been proposed and argued to be beneficial...
