While the number of transistors on a chip increases exponentially over time, the productivity that can be realized from these systems has not kept pace. To deal with the complexit...
— Wireless sensor network (WSN) architectures often feature a (single) base station in charge of coordinating the application functionality. Although this assumption simplified ...
The growing complexity of modern processors has made the generation of highly efficient code increasingly difficult. Manual code generation is very time consuming, but it is oft...
Several attempts have been made in the past to construct encoding schemes that allow modularity to emerge in evolving systems, but success is limited. We believe that in order to c...
